[Verse 1]
What are you trying to say?
Happening everyday
Patterns on your body
Made by tiny hands
[Verse 2]
What is it I can't see?
Raveling under me
Woven obsessions
Made by burning hands
[Chorus]
Put your makeup on
Paint on a smile
That your momma taught
One step forward
On this island
Where the water will
Surround us
Two steps back
[Post-Chorus]
And I know
It's easier to believe
And I know
It's easier to believe
[Verse 3]
What do you want to see?
The mirror disagrees
Breaking patterns starts with
Taking tiny steps
[Chorus]
Put your makeup on
Paint on a smile
That your momma taught
One step forwards
On this island
Where the water will
Surround us
Two steps back
[Post-Chorus]
And I know
It's easier to believe
And I know
It's easier to believe
But I know
I don't wanna be deceived
I wanna grow
I don't wanna be deceived
[Outro]
And I know
It's easier to believe
