[Intro] There's the truth That lingers in my heart But I don't have the courage To say it in this life [Pre-Chorus] I got to be kind I don't want others to hurt So I don't speak my mind All manners are applied [Chorus] Always monitoring my behavior I got to fit in the mold of princess Not a single teardrop can I cause Or the guilt will eat me alive [Verse] It was hammered in my head To not be rude For it's a serious sin that deserves a punishment It's tiring to hate myself if I fail the performance I got to be nice There's no other way of existing My compassion is an instrument that causes self affliction The sweet voice is full of bitterness I hate myself, but I must be the perfect girl That doesn't even hurt a fly [Pre-Chorus] I got to be kind I don't want others to hurt So I don't speak my mind All manners are applied [Chorus] Always monitoring my behavior I got to fit in the mold of princess Not a single teardrop can I cause Or the guilt will eat me alive [Verse] That same kindness I offer to others Is wasted on me I can't love my own reflection Without feeling deep rejection I fell into a trap, that is causing papercuts to appear I don't want to hurt others I'm so deeply distorted that I don't think of my own well-being Doors that were closed, can't be forcefully open My dreams will never become a reality I can't escape this twisted heart of mine [Pre-Chorus] I got to be kind I don't want others to hurt So I don't speak my mind All manners are applied [Chorus] Always monitoring my behavior I got to fit in the mold of princess Not a single teardrop can I cause Or the guilt will eat me alive [Verse] Be a nice girl, be a nice girl, be a nice girl While throwing my life away Though I hurt, I deserve the pain My smile is hiding fear The monsters hide in my shadow The past, won't let go I'm only causing trouble to others if I come close I can't plead with myself My subconscious is under the spell I'm breaking under the pressure [Outro] I got to be kind There's no place for rudeness Or the dark sky will come And devour the ghostly sun
