Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She traced her name
On the cold screen glass
Cherry lipstick stain
In the shopfront glass
Said
"On the other side
I swear I'm gonna pass"
But her hands just shook
And the clock laughed back
[Chorus]
She wanted to look through the looking glass
But the frame cut deep
She was cracked in half
Every perfect world that she tried on
Bled at the seams when the light came on
She wanted to look through the looking glass
But she found out there she could never last
So she stares at her face in a broken pane
Saying
"This is it
This is me
This is strange"
(This is strange)
[Verse 2]
Neon halo eyes
Filter-faded skin
Scrolling past her life
Like a scratched-out film
All those mirrored mouths
Telling her she's late
To the party where
No one looks their age
[Chorus]
She wanted to look through the looking glass
But the frame cut deep
She was cracked in half
Every perfect world that she tried on
Bled at the seams when the light came on
She wanted to look through the looking glass
But she found out there she could never last
So she stares at her face in a broken pane
Saying
"This is it
This is me
This is strange"
(This is strange)
[Bridge]
Smash it
Shards in her hair like stars (hey!)
She laughs
"Guess I liked me better scarred"
All those tiny screens
Can keep their crooked dreams
She'll walk through
Not around
Every jagged thing
[Chorus]
She wanted to look through the looking glass
But the frame cut deep
She was cracked in half
Every perfect world that she tried on
Bled at the seams when the light came on
She wanted to look through the looking glass
Now she walks right past
Let the surface crash
'Cause the only world that she can stand
Is the one where she cuts herself from
from~ the glass
