[Verse 1]
The lil' girl that I see, she stands in front of me
Acts like a stranger, scared to look at me
Her tear-covered cheeks, the venom runs too deep
Scars cut open, the pain won't leave
The moves she makes, the smile she fakes
Same old lies, she can't take 'em
[Pre-Chorus]
Saddest blue in her eyes
The hazard, she knows how to survive
[Chorus]
Buried alive, death in her eyes
Demons hide behind her face
Lost in her mind, pretendin' she's fine
Perfect reflection is built to break
[Verse 2]
No matter where I go, I always go unseen
My fear is a cape I put around me
Otherwise, I'd have to explain myself
But who wants to tell secrets from Hell?
[Pre-Chorus]
Saddest blue in her eyes
The hazard, she knows how to survive
[Chorus]
Buried alive, death in her eyes
Demons hide behind her face
Lost in her mind, pretendin' she's fine
Perfect reflection is built to break
[Bridge]
The girl that I see, I don't want her to be me
I want her to be free, I want her to be happy
I will never be, she will never be (Built to break)
We will never be anything (Built to break)
[Chorus]
Buried alive, death in her eyes
Demons hide behind her face (Built to break)
Lost in her mind, pretendin' she's fine
Perfect reflection is built to break (Built to break)
[Outro]
(Built to break) Built to break, oh
Built to break
Perfect reflection is built to break
