Painted Reality Songtext
von Lena Schaur

I used to drown in perfection
And tremble late at night
I smiled to make them love me
But nothing ever felt right

I am afraid I′m never enough (ooh, ah)
Been shaping myself to earn their love
But I won't hide behind the pain (ooh, ah)
Every scar reminds that I remain

This painted reality
Is tearing my soul from me
But I won′t change who I am
I won't pretend, won't play the game
This painted reality
Is stealing what′s real in me
I′d rather be broken and true
Than perfect and playing for you


Yeah
Yeah

I was a puppet of beauty, painted strength on weakness
I shaped the girl I couldn't be until I lost my reflection
I see a thousand faces, concealing what is true
We betray the self we knew

I am afraid I′m never enough (never enough)
Been shaping myself (shaping myself) to earn their love (to earn their love)
But I won't hide (I won′t hide) behind the pain (behind the pain)
Every scar (every scar) reminds that I remain

This painted reality (this painted reality)
Is tearing my soul from me (is tearing my soul from me)
But I won't change who I am (ooh)
I won′t pretend, won't play the game
This painted reality (this painted reality)
Is stealing what's real in me (is stealing what′s real in me)
I′d rather be broken and true than perfect and playing for you

Yeah (oh-oh)
For you
