 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

Sitting in my bedroom tonight
Thinking of how to change your mind
Since you walked out my life again
Yeah
So I strike a pose and tilt my chin
And hold the light to suit my skin
Your favorite t-shirt on again

Counting hours
Counting lies
3, 2, 1
And I smile

Taking pictures of myself, self, self
Taking pictures of myself, self self
Guess I'm reaching out to be assured
All I wanted was to be adored

Now you're telling me I'm vain, vain, vain yeah
But you don't feel my pain, pain, pain
Facing life upon the shelf, shelf, shelf
Taking pictures of myself, self, self

Taking pictures of myself
Taking pictures of myself
Taking pictures of myself
Taking pictures of myself  oh oh

I'll post it up in black and white
With a depressing quote on my life
So that you see what I'm going through
Yeah
This is desperation at it's best
A conversation to be left
But all my pride was burned by you

Counting days
Counting takes
3, 2, 1
I'm awake

Taking pictures of myself, self, self
Taking pictures of myself, self self
Guess I'm reaching out to be assured
All I wanted was to be adored

Now you're telling me I'm vain, vain, vain yeah
But you don't feel my pain, pain, pain
Facing life upon the shelf, shelf, shelf
Taking pictures of myself, self, self

Taking pictures of myself
Taking pictures of myself
Taking pictures of myself
Taking pictures of myself oh oh

Taking pictures of myself, self, self
Taking pictures of myself, self self
Guess I'm reaching out to be assured
All I wanted was to be adored

Now you're telling me I'm vain, vain, vain yeah
But you don't feel my pain, pain, pain
Facing life upon the shelf, shelf, shelf
Taking pictures of myself, self, self

Hey, what you looking at?
Hey, what you looking at?
Hey, what do you looking at?
Hey, what do you looking at? (Taking pictures of myself)
Hey, what you looking at? (Taking pictures of myself)
Hey, what you looking at? (Taking pictures of myself)
Hey, what you looking at? (Taking pictures of myself)
Hey, what you looking at? (Taking pictures of myself)

Taking pictures of myself
Taking pictures of myself
Taking pictures of myself oh
