Wrapped tight in vanity

by Ashlee   Aug 6, 2005


Your so beautiful is what I've heard all my life
When people look at me, model is what comes to mind.
So hear i am finally where they said i should be,
wrapped tight in vanity.

But if i finally live the "good life" why am i on this site?
night after night
Everyone get pissed if i don't go to some party
But i can never pull myself from the computer screen

I listen to y'all say how ur hurt
and in return I'm wrapped in my own memories.
watching the pain swell deep in me
only to plaster on a smile for all to see.

wrapped tight in vanity, i cover whats inside.
scars hide behind makeup, behind lies
don't get me wrong, i love my job
wouldn't give it up for the world

I guess I'm just tired of not being treated like a person
I'm only a sophomore in high school
but the only thing everyone waits for is me to be the next "prom queen"

But here i am night after night wishing
i could tell the photographer to f2ck off.
I know what ur thinking ...
rich girl doesn't have any problems from what i hear

But i assure u i do
raped at an early age, watcha gonna do?
keep it inside
and turn sad eyes to the camera..the puppy dog look is a turn on.

Your saying - so what its probably a lie.
again i assure i can't cover the scars inside as much as i try
A brother that used to hit me when he was high
try that on for size

vanity wrapped tight around me i can't tell what has happened to me
I have to keep it inside less reporters find out.
as "beautiful" as i may be
like everyone else anger hovers withing me.

Vanity wrapped tight around me
I'm sick of living the perfect life
I wish i could rip my hair out
and for once scream out loud.

Think what u want, i assure u it's all true,
I live the perfect life,
I'm what everyone wants me to be.
But for once..here i scream...

F2ck America! I'm no different
I'm a person just like you
scars i try to hide always seem to show true.
Just because I'm what u want me to be, doesn't mean I'm a Barbie...i really do breathe, i really have feelings.
