lyrics

Have you ever looked in the mirror and not seen yourself?
Like you got lost somewhere along the way
Well maybe you just need some help getting back
But that’s not something they tell you these days

I never wanted to be that girl
But I’m stuck on this rural street
And my smile won’t come but my hair still curls
And I guess that’s how they recognize me

I’m not actually here anymore
I’ve forgotten what I came here for

You with the bright eyes
I envy you
Cold and bitter that’s what I’ve come to

You with the bright eyes
I envy you
Cold and bitter that’s what I’ve come to

There’s no one around for miles
They left me here in the dust
They’re actually all right next to me
But it’s like I’m a ghost

I’m not actually here anymore
I’ve forgotten what I came here for

You with the bright eyes
I envy you
Cold and bitter that’s what I’ve come to

You with the bright eyes
I envy you
Cold and bitter that’s what I’ve come to

And I’m done with the pain
And I’m done playing games
With everyone

And I’m done with the past
Wish I could let it go and make it last
For a while

You with the big smile
Watch your back
Or you’ll be cold and bitter like me and that’s a fact

You with the bright eyes
I envy you
Cold and bitter that’s what I’ve come to

You with the bright eyes
I envy you
Cold and bitter that’s what I’ve come to

You with the bright eyes
I envy you
Cold and bitter that’s what I’ve come to

You with the bright eyes
I envy you
Cold and bitter that’s what I’ve come to

Cold and bitter that’s what I’ve come to
