Glitter

(album: The Last Songs I'll Write About You (For Real) - 2023)

You pulled me in with your stepping stones
I took your word like it was made of gold
Running breathless
After something
That I never even wanted
All because you told me so

Hmm
And I couldn't see it for what it was

I got lost in the glitter
Caught up in the shimmer
One look in the mirror
And I couldn't recognize myself like that
So lost in the
Glitter
So lost in the
Glitter

You dressed me up and I played your games
Wore your makeup all over my face
You told me to fake it
Until we made it
But those were your dreams I was chasing
Watching myself waste away
Hm

I got lost in the glitter
Caught up in the shimmer
One look in the mirror
And I couldn't recognize myself like that
So lost in the
Glitter
So lost in the
Glitter

Chasing the money
Left us with nothing
Spent all my energy
You kept me running
I built a prison
Kept all my feelings
Locked up tight, no sunlight
Yeah, hindsight

I see it clearly
You never really
Cared much about me
You just wanted me to hold you up

So lost in the glitter
Caught up in the shimmer
There's no getting rid of
It now
You're stuck to me somehow
I've learned to live with that
