Seems the only one who doesn't see your beauty
Is the face in the mirror looking back at you
You walk around here thinking you're not pretty
But that's not true 'cause I know you
[Chorus]
Hold on, baby; you're losing it
The water's high, you're jumping into it
And letting go, and no one knows
That you cry; but you don't tell anyone
That you might not be the golden one
And you're tied together with a smile
But you're coming undone
I guess it's true that love was all you wanted
'Cause you're givin' it away like it's extra change
Hoping it will end up in his pocket
But he leaves you out like a penny in the rain
Oh, 'cause it's not his price to pay
It's not his price to pay
[Chorus x2]
You're tied together with a smile
But you're coming undone, oh
Goodbye, baby
With a smile, baby, baby
Is the face in the mirror looking back at you
You walk around here thinking you're not pretty
But that's not true 'cause I know you
[Chorus]
Hold on, baby; you're losing it
The water's high, you're jumping into it
And letting go, and no one knows
That you cry; but you don't tell anyone
That you might not be the golden one
And you're tied together with a smile
But you're coming undone
I guess it's true that love was all you wanted
'Cause you're givin' it away like it's extra change
Hoping it will end up in his pocket
But he leaves you out like a penny in the rain
Oh, 'cause it's not his price to pay
It's not his price to pay
[Chorus x2]
You're tied together with a smile
But you're coming undone, oh
Goodbye, baby
With a smile, baby, baby

'Seems the only one who doesn't see your beauty
Is the face in the mirror looking back at you
You walk around here thinking you're not pretty
But that's not true 'cause I know you'
This is the only part that I don't see relates to me.
'Hold on, baby you're losing it
The water's high, you're jumping into it
And letting go, and no one knows'
I've been depressed for a while and no one knows but my mom and I've contemplated suicide a lot so the jumping into the high water reminds me of that.
'That you cry, but you don't tell anyone
That you might not be the golden one
And you're tied together with a smile
But you're coming undone'
The only time I ever cry is when I'm by myself, and I cry a lot because of things that have happened in my past to cause my depression, and people are always expecting this greatness out of me that I don't believe I have and everyone is always disappointed when I mess up and I just smile and laugh it off like I don't care but that keeps getting harder to do.
'I guess it's true that love was all you wanted
'Cause you're givin' it away like it's extra change
Hoping it will end up in his pocket
But he leaves you out like a penny in the rain
Oh, 'cause it's not his price to pay
It's not his price to pay'
Because of my difficult past, I was always desiring this love from someone but always one guy in particular who never had any interest in me which broke my heart because I've loved him for 6 years, but I know it isn't his fault that he just doesn't see me like that.
'You're tied together with a smile
But you're coming undone, oh
Goodbye, baby
With a smile, baby, baby'
This would be like if I did end up committing suicide, because I think everyone would be shocked because they always thought I was so happy since I'm always smiling and laughing.
1 - This song always reminds me of my friend, Gemma. She's actually the prettiest girl I've ever met, and possibly the nicest person, too, but she really doesn't think she's pretty at all and it's sad. She never had boyfriends, for some reason they never saw just how much she was worth, and she acted like she was fine with that - but then, Gemma fell in love. This guy, George - her first real boyfriend, and, oh, they were so cute! And Gemma fell so heavily it was adorable. And we all thought George did, too - of course, we were all wrong. George left Gemma, and way faster than you'd have thought, (as in, less than a day. Yah, you heard meh!), he was with one of her 'best' friends. Not good, huh? And it really reminds me of her - the verse, "I guess it's true that love was all you wanted 'cause you're giving it away like it's extra change, hoping it would end up in his pocket, but he leaves you out like a penny in the rain, oh, 'cause it's not his price to pay." Gemma always acted like she was fine with not being with George, and she acted happy for her friend, but... Well, I was really close with Gemma at the time. I could tell.
That was a while ago, now, but... Still!
2- Strangely, this reminds me of myself. You know your first love? The one that you really fall for? Well, I fell for a boy who had been my best friend for two years - it was really sweet, admittedly. He'd liked me since the first day he met me and I'd never seen him as more than that, but something changed and we got together. It was real sweet, but it didn't last. He broke up with me, - heck, I never found out why, and I was really upset when I found out. He couldn't even tell me himself, got my friend Holl to do it - and when she did... Well, there were tears, and I blamed myself. I remember saying, "Am I not pretty enough? Is that what it is?"
A while ago Holl and I were listening to Taylor Swift's album, (We're big fans, obviously,), and she said, "Hey, remember when you and * broke up? I heard this song and it reminded me of you soo much."
I thought about it and I thought, heck, I see what she means. I don't think I'm some drop-dead-gorgeous person, but I can see what she means...
Wow, big comment, haha!
is the face in the mirror looking back at you
you walk around her thinking you're not pretty,
but that's not true,
'cause I know you,
hmm sounds like shes trying to say that there's this girl and shes fake and taylor knows that shes fake she acts like shes all that 'cause shes pretty but, taylor is explaining that in the inside shes actually a horrible person and she knows this because she know that girl.
