I see Kaitlyn
In my mirror
See her in the sky over the river
I tell myself I don't wanna be her
She knows I'm lying
She sees how they see her
She knows I'm lying
That I want to be her
I linger in plain sight
Trying to catch some of her perfume
Maybe if I smelled like her
They'd listen to me too
She has skin like glass
It's like she's made of sand
The sea takes her home
She never tries
She's not gauche or shy
She doesn't like to scream at the wind
I whisper at the stars
Blame the moon for all I can't be
I try to keep my cool,
Maybe then they'd really see me
I linger in plain sight
Trying to catch some of her perfume
Maybe if I smelled like her
They'd listen to me too
Maybe it's for the best
It hurts to scream and still be left
Too loud but still peripheral
I try to mellow out
I'm a gambler in Kaitlyn's debt
To breathe her air is to be left
Devoid of charm and truth
I try to mellow out
She knows I'm lying
That I want to be her
