No I do not show off
Guys when the talk to me
Talk with their eyes down
Girls when they see me
Gossip about how I've slept around
It hurts to know that people lie

I let the filter fall
off of my image
off my all

But I know that I put on masks
When I'm with family
When I'm with friends
When I feel I need to please someone
Because I never feel as though myself is good.
