I Know a Girl that Reminds me of how I used to be

I know this girl and she reminds me of how I used to be
Decepted and self-medicated is what she chooses to be
She takes life’s corners rapidly only to crash so beautifully
And usually she puts herself under very harsh scrutiny
She keeps on looking for beauty in all the hideous
And wonders why she feel s all of this weariness
It’s because she’s got her priorities in all this silliness
Going around in circles brings too much dizziness
When we dwell on the negative, then that’s all we’re attracting
Sitting there saying that all this is just so distracting
And not knowing that other people’s lives we’re impacting
And not recognizing that in life, other people are just acting
She’s caught up in a cycle and doesn’t know how to break it
And got so used to the feeling that she just can’t shake it
She goes through the motions and knows just how to fake it
She hasn’t realized yet that life is just what we make it
