MEARA - Weakness

No one said it's easy, making it to the top,
Soaking up the spotlight, start and you'll never stop,
But when you find it, lose your mind, it's never coming off,
Taste of the attention, no, you can't stop the clock,
You can do it, misconstrue it, say what you'll say,
But when it's over, you're the poser stuck in the fray,
Be careful what you wish for, 'cause you might get your way,
It's tried and toxic, you know you've lost it when all you hear's your name,
I can make a lie feel so fine, that even I believe it,
Look me in the eye, tell me I'm too dumb to even read it,
I can't keep running from the forces at play,
Cute as a button, oh but make no mistake,
'Cause it's my weakness, oh it's the price that I pay,
Keep all my secrets, and lock them away,
When it rains it's pouring, ignorance and the bliss,
Strike without a warning, pulling me back to this,
My plastic seal, Achilles heel that I just can't dismiss,
Desperate for a story, telling me what I missed,
Toward the light, my kryptonite, don't know what to do,
I can't deny it, had to buy it shiny and new,
Be careful what you wish for, 'cause it just might come true,
But tell me something, am I the puppet? 'Cause I don't have a clue,
Make a deal that you can't refuse, go on and take a minute,
I can see the match and the fuse from where I'm tangled in it,
I can't keep doing things the way that I please,
Sooner or later, I might finally see,
That it's my weakness, there isn't a doubt,
Won't take a genius, to figure it out,
I don't have a reason for picking up the pieces of this broken rollercoaster I didn't know I needed,
While I'm throwing what I'm saying away without repaying all the gambles that I've taken this way,
Playing for the praise and applause, but don't you overdo it,
Feeling like I won, but the loss hit me before I knew it,
I can't keep making this exact same mistake,
It only takes so long before it'll break,
'Cause it's my weakness, the impossible game,
A plan so seamless, there's no one to blame,
My weakness, my weakness
