[Intro — distant piano, muffled party ambience, soft female whisper] Everybody looks so beautiful tonight… Funny how nobody looks at me. (soft laugh, distorted guitar slowly rising) [Verse 1 — Natalia, haunting clean vocals] I wore my prettiest dress just to disappear, Smiled at the faces that made me feel weird. I learned how to laugh when they laughed at me, And swallowed every word that I wanted to scream. There’s a little black cloud underneath my skin, A thousand little voices that I keep locked in. You can call me fragile, you can call me strange, But don’t act surprised when I finally change. [Pre-Chorus — angelic harmonies building] You made me feel like a ghost in the room, Like a flower that was never allowed to bloom. Now the lights are flickering, the music sounds strange, And I don’t think I’ll ever be the same. [Chorus — huge melodic guitars, dark electronic bass] Look what you made of me, A little tragedy dressed up pretty. You watched me break, you called it funny, Now all your apologies sound so empty. I never wanted to be your nightmare, I only wanted somebody to care. You turned your back when I needed you most, Now I’m the girl you fear the most. [Verse 2 — heavier groove, restrained aggression] There’s lipstick on the mirror and blood-red lights, Everybody’s dancing like everything’s fine. I hear my name hiding under their breath, Like they haven’t already taken what’s left. I could forgive you, but I don’t know how, I’m still that same girl underneath it all. And somewhere beneath all the anger and shame, There’s a little girl wondering who’s to blame. [Pre-Chorus — whispered vocals into a scream] You made me feel like a ghost in the room, Now every shadow looks a little like you. (feral scream) YOU DON’T GET TO CHOOSE WHAT I BECOME! [Chorus — full band, layered female vocals] Look what you made of me, A little tragedy dressed up pretty. You watched me break, you called it funny, Now all your apologies sound so empty. I never wanted to be your nightmare, I only wanted somebody to care. You turned your back when I needed you most, Now I’m the girl you fear the most. [Bridge — piano, distant sirens, fragile vocals] Was I ever really that hard to love? Was I asking for too much? If you’d held me when I reached for you, Would I still be someone you could look into? (silence, one breath) I didn’t want to burn the whole world down… I just wanted somewhere safe to stand. [Final Chorus — emotional clean vocals, screamed backing harmonies] Look what you made of me, I’m still the girl you refused to see. Beneath the ashes, beneath the shame, I’m still the one who remembers my name. I never wanted to be your nightmare, I only wanted somebody to care. You can look away, you can pretend you don’t know… But you helped make the monster you were frightened to know. [Outro — piano fades into distorted ambience] Everybody looks so beautiful tonight… (whispered) Funny how nobody sees me anymore.
