[Verse 1] I put some glitter on my cheeks So nobody can see me weak Pink confetti in the air Smile so wide, pretend I care I painted stars across my room Made a little ocean out of blue Everybody says, “You look so bright” Nobody asks about the night [Pre-Chorus] Sparkle, sparkle, cover me Make me what they want to see If I'm shining, they won't know How far underneath I go [Chorus] I'm drowning in glitter, glitter Shining while I disappear Laughing a little louder So nobody hears my fear Drowning in glitter, glitter Pretty little mess of gold Everybody loves the sparkle Nobody sees what's below [Verse 2] I made a crown from plastic pearls Played pretend inside my world Told my friends that I was fine While the tide kept climbing higher inside The brighter that I tried to glow The less of me I seemed to know So I threw the glitter in the sea And watched it float away from me [Pre-Chorus] Sparkle, sparkle, let it fall I don't have to shine at all Maybe if I drop the show I can finally let them know [Chorus] I'm drowning in glitter, glitter Shining while I disappear Laughing a little louder So nobody hears my fear Drowning in glitter, glitter Pretty little mess of gold Everybody loves the sparkle Nobody sees what's below [Bridge] I don't wanna be a picture That is perfect all the time I don't wanna paint a smile When I don't feel like I'm alright So let the glitter hit the floor I don't need it anymore If you see me without the shine You'll still know that I'm alive [Final Chorus] I'm not drowning in glitter, glitter I can finally see the shore I don't have to hide behind it I don't need to sparkle anymore No more glitter, glitter Let the ocean wash me clean Maybe being honest with myself Is the prettiest I've ever been [Outro] Glitter on the water Glitter on the floor I thought I needed sparkle But I don't need it anymore...
