I Can Do It With a Broken Heart
I can read your mind
“She’s having the time of her life
There in her glittering prime
The lights refract sequin stars off her silhouette every night”
I can show you lies’Cause I’m a real tough kid. I can handle my shit
They said, “Babe, you gotta fake it till you make it” and I did
“Lights, camera, Bitch, smile
Even when you wanna die”
He said he’d love me all his life
But that life was too short
Breaking down, I hit the floor
All the pieces of me shattered as the crowd was chanting more
I was grinning like I’m winning, I was hitting my marks
’Cause I can do it with a broken heartI’m so depressed I act like it’s my birthday every day
I’m so obsessed with him, but he avoids me like a plague
I cry a lot, but I am so productive; it’s an art
You know you’re good when you can even do it with a broken heartI can hold my breath
I’ve been doing it since he left
I keep finding his things in drawers
Crucial evidence; I didn’t imagine the whole thing I’m sure
I can pass this test’Cause I’m a real tough kid. I can handle my shit
They said, “Babe, you gotta fake it till you make it,” and I did
Lights, camera, Bitch smile
In stilettos for miles
He said he’d love me for all time
But that time was quite short
Breaking down, I hit the floor
All the pieces of me shattered as the crowd was chanting more
I was grinning like I’m winning, I was hitting my marks
’Cause I can do it with a broken heartI’m so depressed I act like it’s my birthday every day
I’m so obsessed with him, but he avoids me like a plague
I cry a lot, but I am so productive; it’s an art
You know you’re good when you can even do it with a broken heart
You know you’re good when you can even do it with a broken heartYou know you’re good
You’re good
’Cause I’m miserable
And no one even knows!
