breakdown song - KMurdock Music Group
Sunshine through my window got me smiling wide
Phones blowing up with texts I leave on read
Everyone's asking why I'm glowing so bright
If they only knew what's going on in my head
I laugh a little louder
Dress a little bolder
My makeup game so perfect
Hiding all the flaws
They say, "Damn girl, you never looked better"
While I'm counting down the minutes till alone with my thoughts
This smile's my best costume
This laugh, my greatest lie
I'm dancing through the ruins while everything burns inside
So clap your hands and sing along
To my happiest breakdown song
Yeah, I look so good falling apart
My highlights popping while I'm coming undone
Post another selfie, captions full of joy
#Blessed, #LivingMyBestLife
Got them all convinced
I'm riding some high while I'm barely holding on through the night
Perfecting my technique of the mid-conversation escape
Bathroom breaks when tears start to form
You're good, they ask, I say never been better, babe
As I practice my smile in the mirror once more
This smile's my best costume
This laugh, my greatest lie
I'm dancing through the ruins while everything burns inside
So clap your hands and sing along
To my happiest breakdown song
Yeah, I look so good falling apart
My highlights popping while I'm coming undone
It's easier this way
No questions, no concern
Keep the darkness at bay
Where nobody can learn
The truth behind these eyes
The weight behind this chest
My most convincing disguise
Is pretending I'm my best
Funny how they buy it every single time
This act I've been perfecting year by year
They see exactly what I want them to find
A carefully constructed atmosphere
Sometimes I almost believe it myself
That this performance might become real
But underneath the shell of mental health
There's a truth that I can no longer conceal
This smile's my best costume
This laugh, my greatest lie
I'm dancing through the ruins while everything burns inside
So clap your hands and sing along
To my happiest breakdown song
This smile's my best costume
This laugh, my greatest lie
I'm dancing through the ruins while everything burns inside
So clap your hands and sing along
To my happiest breakdown song
Yeah, I look so good falling apart
My highlights popping while I'm coming undone
Watch me shine while I fall apart
See me glow as I break down
