verse 1
|
you know I hold these in
|
and I take them for myself
|
I'm covered in guilt
|
but it's not my own
|
|
there isn't any reason
|
for me to feel like I'm dying
|
I'm done with being afraid
|
I'm done with lying
|
|
chorus:
|
and I am not an angel
|
I'm more like Mona Lisa
|
there's something hiding in me
|
there's always something behind my smile
|
|
and I know that I'm not perfect
|
and maybe I am the court jester
|
I'm the life of the party
|
and I know too much about the court...
|
|
I have these secrets that aren't my own
|
|
verse 2
|
so take this how you want to
|
I'm not here to judge you
|
I just want to be in love with you
|
I just want to forget myself
|
|
i want to just be ignorant
|
please take this pain away from me
|
down to the river and out to the sea
|
down to the river and out to the sea
|
|
chorus:
|
and I am not an angel
|
I'm more like Mona Lisa
|
there's something hiding in me
|
there's always something behind my smile
|
|
and I know that I'm not perfect
|
yeah, I am the court jester
|
I'm the life of the party
|
and I know too much about the court...
|
|
I have these secrets that aren't my own
|
|
verse 3
|
it's too far to reach.
|
but I'm too scared to let go.
|
it's too close to ignore
|
but I feel so far away now
|
|
I'm crawling in the ceiling
|
I'm scratching through the walls
|
I'm trying to scream
|
but my own hand is on my throat
|
|
chorus:
|
And I am not an angel
|
I'm more like Mona Lisa
|
there's something hiding in me
|
there's always something behind my smile
|
|
and I want to be like Venus
|
to just bare it all and face the world
|
but I'm tangled in these blankets
|
I'm caught in between the lines
|
|
I have these secrets that aren't my own
|
