I peered through a peculiar piece of glass,

and you will never guess what I have found out!

I don't actually give a damn,

it's true.

Not about him, not about her,

not about whatever they say about me

when I turn away.

I peered through a peculiar piece of glass,

and you will never guess what I found out!

Everything is treachery,

or so I believe.

All these people and their sympathy,

it's a lie! It's a knife,

that's bound to cut you to the bone,

but careful and listen here close

for I found out about this

as I peered through a peculiar piece of glass.

It is indeed a knife,

but it cuts both ways,

indeed,

and it may be sharper if only you are kinder.

I peered through a peculiar piece of glass,

and you will never guess what I found out!

That I never should have cared

about what they thought about me in the first place.

A 'pick-me', 'goody two shoes',

'precocious', 'geek',

fine! fine! I am whatever you call me!

Well, to you at least.

You know me not.

But, go ahead, act like it!

I peered through a peculiar piece of glass,

and you will never guess what I found out!

There is only one of me,

so I might just make the most of it.
