I am a thousand lies
Hidden behind a smile
I have no reason why
I’d be worth your while

I am a torn up paper
Scattered by the wind
You can’t piece me back together
I’ll never be read again

I am a broken mirror
A thousand tiny shards
Don’t look at me for what you see
Will only break your heart

I am, I am, I am
Oh the things that I could say
But the truth is that I’m nothing
And I’ll always be this way

Yikes! This needs a LOT of work, especially the opening stanza. >.<

Try this:

I am a thousand lies
Beneath a crooked smile
I have no reason why
That I’d be worth your while

I am a torn up paper
Scattered by the wind
Can’t piece me back together
I’ll never be read again

I am a broken mirror
A thousand tiny shards
Don’t look at me, for what you see
Will only break your heart

I am, I am, I am
Oh the things that I could say
But the truth is that I’m nothing
And I’ll always be this way


I couldn't seem to get around where it catches at the end of the second stanza, but it's great the way it is. Hope this helps a bit. :)

Yes, thank you! In addition to the first, the second stanza gets to me also. I'll definitely take all of that into consideration if I ever get around to reworking this one. =D
