Into the off-white room, she lived her life just to live up to the moon
Teared eyes, sunrise
She hasn't slept a wink all night

This is the part where she looks in the mirror
And she puts her face in her hands and says,
"Oh when, oh when will I ever stop all this?
Just a little bit more, that's all I need until I'm done with it"

It wasn't supposed to be this way
And you say, "how did this happen to me?"
This is how
It wasn't supposed to be this way
And you say things won't ever change
This is how

Empty smile, yeah, it's been awhile
You're talking the talk but you won't walk a mile
Welfare, you don't care
You blow all your money, say life isn't fair
Every little thing that you do is to put me through,
but every little thing that goes wrong is in spite of what you do
Your complexion is white, you lie and say you're alright
What you don't understand is that you're not only hurting yourself

It wasn't supposed to be this way
And you say, "how did this happen to me?"
This is how
It wasn't supposed to be this way
And you say things won't ever change
This is how

Dark circles and the veins in your eyes,
tell your whole life story and they face never lies

Every little thing that you do is to put me through,
but every little thing that goes wrong is in spite of what you do
Your complexion is white, you lie and say you're alright
What you don't understand is that you're not only hurting yourself

It wasn't supposed to be this way
And you say, "how did this happen to me?"
This is how
It wasn't supposed to be this way
And you say things won't ever change
This is how
