“seems the only one who doesn’t see your beauty, is the face in the mirror lookin back at you”
can actually be so important to the perfect eldest daughters who grew up way too fast moved out and have done so much healing work, for whom love was all she wanted, but can’t escape the fact that as she gets older she look more and more like their mother every single day.
that’s your mothers face and eyes and hair and blood and flesh and skin. that’s the way your mother folds laundry and takes her coffee and laughs and that’s your mothers playlists and your mothers books - you stole them from your childhood home they still have her annotations in the margin.
you can love yourself as much as you want and have your life together and be so smart and kind and well spoken and be the little golden girl who grew up and impressed everyone who sees her, all tied together with a smile, but you have her eyes and will never be enough for the face in the mirror lookin back at you.

hear me out.
i fake a smile so he won't see
he can't see the smile i'm faking and my heart's not breaking
you're tied together with a smile but you're coming undone
forcing laughter, faking smiles same old tired lonely place
my cheeks are growing tired from turning red & faking smiles
no cameras catch my pageant smile
does she smile? [ for this post; is it real? ]
now i'm missing your smile
the only soul who can tell which smiles i'm fakin'
you would break your back to make me break a smile

I can’t begin to tell you how brilliant I think this verse is. Still to this day this is one of my favorite things she has ever written!

Tied Together With A Smile
Seems the only one who doesn't see your beauty
Is the face in the mirror looking back at you
You walk around here thinking you're not pretty
But that's not true
‘Cause I know you
I guess it's true that love was all you wanted
'Cause you're giving it away like it's extra change
Hoping it will end up in his pocket
But he leaves you out like a penny in the rain
'Cause it's not his price to pay
Hold on, baby, you're losing it
The water's high, you're jumping into it
And letting go
And no one knows
That you cry, but you don't tell anyone
That you might not be the golden one
And you're tied together with a smile
But you're coming undone
You're tied together with a smile
But you're coming undone
Goodbye, baby
With a smile, baby

this song literally saved my life when I was a teenager. I was in attempting suicide and I knocked my ipod off the table in the process and ttwas started playing on the second verse and i stopped.
i would literally not be alive without this song and that was so beautiful

We talk about this a lot with cold as you but my god TTWAS is SO much for a 15 year old to have written. Like that second verse is so fucking beyond her 15 years and was such an astute and heartbreaking realization
