I'll Never Gleam Like You

I put on a dress after tellin' you
It was nice to feel pretty for once
It's a pity you couldn't accept it
I didn't expect you to get all that you've put me through

Well, I'll never gleam like you
I'm broken and muddled
I've turned to a puddle on the floorboards
And cried so hard and so loud
That the neighbors assumed I had died

What a waste of space
As I stare at my broken face
One day I'll just go fade away
Into the scenery

You did this to me
Broke me so hard and fast
You'd think with the swiftness
The pain wouldn't remain
And yet it lasts

Well to think that today I felt beautiful
You told me it's hard to see
Think of what it's like
For me to die for years and for years
As I choke on a bleeding disguise

Well I'll never gleam like you
I wish you'd forget
That pathetic brunette
Who suffered for years
Trying so hard to appeal to your delicate fears

What a waste of space
As I stare at my broken face
I'll just chock this one up
To the rotation of Mercury

You did this to me
You traded my joy for shame
I'm so sick of hiding
For your lies, your ego, your family name

You did this to me
To me
You did this to me
Oh, to me

Now I'll never gleam like you
I'm broken and muddled
I've turned to a puddle on the floorboards
And cried so hard and so loud
That the neighbors assumed I had died
