FAIR GAME
Unveiling the Mirror: Alice Glass Exposes the Pain Behind the Clown
Lyrics
Hey you
Addressing someone
Come over here
Inviting them closer
I have something to tell you
Expressing intention to share something
I know you don't know this
Noticing the person's lack of awareness
But you're a cliche
Labeling the person as a stereotype
You screw up everything
Attributing mistakes to the person
I'm so embarrassed for you
Expressing embarrassment for the person
I'm so embarrassed for us
Feeling embarrassed collectively
You ruined everything for us
Blaming the person for ruining things
Everybody laughs behind your back (where would you be without me?)
Noting mockery from others
Where would you be without me?
Repetition questioning the person's value
Where would you be without me?
-Where would you be without me?
-Where would you be without me?
-Where would you be without me?
-Where would you be without me?
-Where would you be without me?
Continued questioning of worth
When you dance you look like a clown
-You ruined everything
-When you move you look like a clown
-You ruined everything
-I like your makeup but you look like a clown
-You ruined everything
-Where would you be without me?
-Where would you be without me?
-Where would you be without me?
-Where would you be without me?
-Where would you be without me?
-Where would you be without me?
-It's too late
Declaring it's too late
Where would you be without me?
Repetition emphasizing the importance of the speaker
If everyone knew you
-You wouldn't have any friends
-You screw up everything
-I didn't want to tell you
-But I have to
-I, I have to because I care
-I'm the only one who cares
-Where would you be without me?
-Where would you be without me?
-Where would you be without me?
-Where would you be without me?
-Where would you be without me?
-Where would you be without me?
-It's too late
-Where would you be without me?
-I'm just trying to help you (you don't trust me)
Offering assistance with distrust noted
You're insane (I thought you loved me)
Labeling the person as insane
You're insane (but you don't trust me)
-You're insane
-I thought you cared
Expressing disappointment in perceived lack of care
The real you would never question me
Asserting the speaker's authority
I'm just trying to help you
Reiterating the intention to help
Where would you be without me?
Continued questioning of worth
Where would you be without me?
-Where would you be without me?
-Where would you be without me?
-Where would you be without me?
-Do you want to go back to where you were?
Questioning the desirability of returning to the past
Do you want to go back to how you were living?
-Where would you be without me?
-Would you like another pill?
Offering another solution while blaming the person
You ruined everything
-I'm just trying to help you
