Hannah Fae - Counterpart Lyrics

I can't sleep tonight
Another nightmare's creepin' up on me
Look out at the moon so bright
And the sky whispers quietly to me
Don't you cry, no, no
Pretty girls don't cry
Just smile, stay pretty, be cute, be smart
But never as clever as your counterpart
When life starts to crumble And the world looks dark
Wipe those tears off your face
Sew that smile into place
It's not your world, no, no
You're just a girl
No, no, no, no, no
High heels click on wet cement
I hold my head high but inside I wanna scream I look all around, he looks up and down
As I try to hide, he whispers quietly to me
Don't you cry, no, no
Pretty girls don't cry
Just smile, stay pretty, be cute, be smart
But never as clever as your counterpart
When life starts to crumble
And the world looks dark
Wipe those tears off your face
Sew that smile into place
It's not my world, no, no
I'm just a girl
No, no, no, no, no
As I toss and turn, the venom fills my head
It seeps through my veins, all the words they've said
And the serpent sings sweet melodies
That are twisted and lies in a pleasant disguise
And it convinces me
That we are just meant for one thing
You know what I mean
So I'll pack up my dignity
And I'll simply just
Smile, stay pretty, be cute, be smart
But never as clever as my counterpart
When life starts to crumble
And the world looks dark
Wipe those tears off my face
Sew that smile on my face
It's not my world
