Shiny

Oh I understand
If this is way too complicated
I get easily frustrated
And I take it out on you
I know I'm not easy
I get scared I get defensive
Probably push you to the deep end
I just wanna stay in control

I like it better when you're further away
Cause then its harder for me to cause you pain
I don't want you to see all the ugly underneath, no
I just want you to think that I'm shiny

Well I've gotten so good at
Making everybody want me
Yeah I'm pretty and I'm funny
The perfect illusion
But you
Well you stayed a little longer
Met my sister met my father
Now its harder to put up a screen

I like it better when you're further away
Cause then its harder for me to cause you pain
I don't want you to see all the ugly underneath, no
I just want you to think that I'm shiny

I never thought I had anxiety
But I try to control everything
Especially the reasons you want me
If I don't sparkle in the sunlight do you think that you still want me
Its so damn hard to believe

I like it better when you're further away
Cause then its harder for me to cause you pain
I don't want you to see all the ugly underneath, no
I just want you to think that I'm shiny
I want everyone to think I'm shiny
