You throw your words so carefully
An expert in sly hostility
With intentions to draw the first blood
A total lack of empathy
Motivated by your vanity

A smile won't mask your intentions
Disguise the reaction that you seek

Fingers crossed behind your back
You'll be caught in a tangled web
With the flaws that you tried to suppress
To conform but you're wasting your breath

Blinded by your reflection
You see right through me when I speak
A smile won't mask your intentions
Disguise the reaction that you seek
I don't want to hear the way
You think I should be
Blinded by your reflection
You see right
