Everybody Loves Me lyrics

They say I'm perfect, say I shine But none of that love ever feels like mine Everybody loves me But not the one I want I changed my clothes, I changed my name Learned to smile and hide the shame You loved a version I created But deep down I feel so hated I played your favorite songs Laughed at your jokes all night long I carved myself to fit your mold Now I'm pretty, fake, and cold Why do I lose myself in you? Is it love or just what I'm told to do? I'm breaking trying to be your truth Everybody loves me But not the way I need They see the light I fake While inside I bleed I try to be what you adore But now I don't know me anymore Everybody loves me Except the one I did this for I wear a crown made of silence Dance alone in your absence Everybody loves me But you don’t They cheer me on, call me strong But never ask what’s going wrong You said I was your fantasy But you never saw the real me I kissed you with a borrowed smile Hid the truth behind a style You wanted beauty with no pain But love without scars can’t remain I sold myself to feel approved But love shouldn’t be something proved Now I'm trapped in what I moved Everybody loves me But not the way I need They love the lie I live Not the soul I bleed I gave you all my heart and skin But lost myself to fit in Everybody loves me Except the one I needed within I'm a mirror of your dreams Cracked beneath the seams Everybody loves me But you don’t You wanted grace, I gave you gold But my warmth is turning cold I can’t keep living just to hold This isn't love if I can’t be Everything that makes up me You wanted perfect, not the truth Now I'm breaking, piece by piece Everybody loves me But not the way I crave They love the show I play But not the soul I save I tried to earn a love that’s free Bent my shape so you'd love me But in the end, I still see Everybody loves me But not for who I really be Not you Not me Not true Just empty
