[English]

Puttin' on my makeup

Puttin' off the hard stuff

Hoping that it passes

Fix my lid eyelashes

I wash my hands

And try not to think

Or dirty up my bathroom sink

I'm at it again with mama

Everybody's so tired of the drama

We're still fighting like I'm sixteen

And I guess we always will be

She taught me how to pray and drink

And how to clean the bathroom sink

It's amazing the amount of rejection that I see

In my reflection

And I can't get out of the way

I'm lookin' forward to the girl I wanna be

But regret has got a way

Of starin' me right in the face

So I try not to waste

Too much time at the bathroom sink

It all gets complicated

Sometimes overrated

Glamour at its finest

Just means someone's hiding

From their own reality

And the mirror at their bathroom sink

It's amazing the amount of rejection that I see

In my reflection

But I can't get out of the way

I'm lookin' forward to the girl I wanna be

But regret has got a way

Of starin' me right in the face

So I try not to waste

Too much time at the bathroom sink

I pray as I get ready

For God to make me steady

And I thank him for his patience

And I take my medication

And bless this day and all it brings

And I clean up the bathroom sink
