Letra de Suffocating Pretty

They said we looked perfect But perfect was choking me You made us look like a dream To hide the way you silenced me I smiled on cue, played the role But beauty cost me all control Outside we shined, inside I sank A love so sweet, it always stank I lost my voice to keep the peace In a love that wouldn't let me breathe You called it magic, I called it mask You never saw the toll you asked Suffocating pretty, ribbons tight, couldn't fight, just smile and freeze Hands around my ribcage love, but never asked if I could breathe Dressed in pain, but you called it grace, locked in style, erased my face You kissed my cheek, broke all my seams–now pretty just means fake to me Every photo was a lie Caught in frames where I'd just cry You loved the image, not the girl Turned my life into your world I wore your pride like perfume But slowly died inside that room Felt like porcelain on a shelf Polished, trapped, losing myself You kissed my lips and missed my heart I was breaking from the start Suffocating pretty, ribbons tight, couldn't fight, just smile and freeze Hands around my ribcage love, but never asked if I could breathe Dressed in pain, but you called it grace, locked in style, erased my face You kissed my cheek, broke all my seams–now pretty just means fake to me I cut the bow, I tore the dress Escaped your grip, confessed the mess It wasn't love, just your facade Now I breathe without applause Suffocating pretty, I spit that gloss, dropped that pose, no more pretend You wanted dollhouse devotion, I want the air back that you spent This isn't hate, it's truth in speed, no poetry, just what I need You lost the right to say my name, I'm not your mirror, not your flame No more perfect, no more pain I'm alive outside the frame
