You're Not Invited
My cover was smiling and I was ready to go
Sit in the back and be a shadow
The large group of girls could only tell what’s next
In a group chat, they were sending texts
But I wouldn’t know, I wasn’t invited
My mask was smiling and I was ready to go
The clouds were merely a foreshadow
A girl came in all innocent and hearty
She asked me if I knew who was going to the party
But I wouldn’t know, I wasn’t invited
My facade was smiling and I was ready to go
I was in my new heels ready to tiptoe
I wonder what it’s like to be happy in your skin
And finally, stop having to fake a grin
But I wouldn’t know.
