I Can Do It With a Broken Heart

Translate to:

ENGLISH ORIGINAL

I can read your mind

"She's having the time of her life"

There in her glittering prime

The lights refract sequin stars

Off her silhouette every night

I can show you lies

Cause I'm a real tough kid

I can handle my shit

They said, "Babe, you gotta fake it til you make it."

And I did

Lights, camera, bitch smile

Even when you want to die

He said he'd love me all his life

But that life was too short

Breaking down I hit the floor

All the pieces of me shattered

As the crowd was chanting "MORE!"

I was grinning like I'm winning

I was hitting my marks

Cause I can do it with a broken heart.

I'm so depressed I act like it's my birthday

Every day

I'm so obsessed with him but he avoids me

Like the plague

I cry a lot but I am so productive

It's an art

You know you're good when you can even do it with a broken heart

I can hold my breath

I've been doing it since he left

I keep finding his things in drawers

Crucial evidence I didn't imagine the whole thing

I'm sure I can pass this test

Cause I'm a real tough kid

I can handle my shit

They said, "Babe, you gotta fake it til you make it"

And I did

Lights, camera, bitch smile

In stilettos for miles

He said he'd love me for all time

But that time was quite short

Breaking down I hit the floor

All the pieces of me shattered

As the crowd was chanting "MORE!"

I was grinning like I'm winning

I was hitting my marks

Cause I can do it with a broken heart

I'm so depressed I act like it's my birthday

Every day

I'm so obsessed with him but he avoids me

Like the plague

I cry a lot but I am so productive

It's an art

You know you're good when you can even do it with a broken heart

You know you're good when you can even do it with a broken heart

You know you're good, and I'm good

Cause I'm MISERABLE!

And nobody even knows!

Try and come for my job.
