When I look in the mirror
I don't see what others see.
I see a heart full of hurt
I see a person rejected
And left behind in the dirt.

When I look in the mirror
I don't see what others see.
I see a broken spirit
I see a lifeless mess
Invisible to the living.

When I look in the mirror
I don't see what others see.
I see names written
I see insults hurled
They all made an impact.

When I look in the mirror
I don't see what others see.
I see myself crumpling
I see myself falling apart
Into a million pieces.

Now when I look in the mirror
I make it all look okay.
I make the smile etched
Into your memories
Come alive.

Now when I look into the mirror
I make it all look okay.
I make the energy
You count on
Jump from somewhere within.

Now when I look into the mirror
I make it all look okay.
I make up the me
You all think you know
It's all just a big show.
