Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mystique is dead
Last year was bad
I let myself get
Sucked in by arithmetic
Felt great to strip
New waist to hip
I hate to admit
Just how much I paid for it
[PreChorus]
Did I cry myself to sleep about that?
Cheat about that?
Rot teeth about that?
Did I sweat hours a week about that?
Compete about that?
Lose my freak about that?
All of the above
[Chorus]
I wanna punch the mirror
To make her see that this won't last
It might be months of bad luck
But what if it's just broken glass?
Spent my summer getting lost in math
Making weight took all I had
Won't outrun her if you don't hit back
It's just broken glass
[Verse 2]
I'm scared to quit
Loosen my grip
It's tough to admit
Just how much I get from it
[PreChorus]
When I cry myself to sleep about that
Cheat about that
Get in too deep about that
When I sweat hours a week about that
Compete about that
Letting her treat me like that
I think that it's love
[Chorus]
I wanna punch the mirror
To make her see that this won't last
It might be months of bad luck
But what if it's just broken glass?
Spent my summer getting lost in math
Making weight took all I had
Won't outrun her if you don't hit back
It's just broken glass
[Bridge]
Keep the faith (Broken glass)
Same mistakes (Broken glass)
Just a phase (Broken glass)
Just a phase
[Chorus]
I wanna punch the mirror
To make her see that this won't last
It might be months of bad luck
But what if it's just broken glass?
Spent my summer getting lost in math
Making weight takes all I have
Won't outrun her if you don't hit back
It's just broken glass
