Verse 1

Here I go again,
All alone,
Standing on my feet,
Like I've never been shown
Here I stand again,
So very afraid,
Not having one REAL friend,
Standing here today.
Why does it feel,
Like I'm not alive,
Like I'm walking in frozen steel,
Living a lie.
Why does it feel,
That I'm trapped in chains,
Like I can't get out,
Because I'm too afraid
Afraid that I'm not strong enough,
To face the enemy,
As the road gets even more tough,
It's like I'm losing energy.

 

Chorus

Mirror, mirror, I must confess,
That I'm so afraid, I just can't rest
Mirror, mirror, I just want to stay,
Stay happy, and not risk going  insane,
Mirror, mirror, what's wrong with me?
It's like two halves,
One monotonous and one reacting erratically,
Mirror, mirror, I'm so confused,
I feel so ashamed,
Feeling so withdrew

 

Verse 2

So I lay in my bed,
Crying my many tears,
Having words unsaid,
That seemed to be hidden for a million years.
I turn my head,
On the pillow I rest,
Feeling the challenges ahead,
Trying not to descend.
I cry my tears feeling so disdained,
Feeling so pathetic, can't even name,
What I'm good at and and how I feel cause I know deeply,
I want to be beautiful, but it just isn't see the beauty in me

 

Chorus

Mirror, mirror, I must confess,
That feeling inside me is putting me to the test,
Mirror, mirror, I feel incomplete,
Cause I don't know why there's so many things shifting in me.
Mirror, mirror, what should I do?
I feel I'm to blame,
Because of the emotions at brew,
Mirror, mirror, who is to blame?
The picture perfect dream?
Or my reality making me insane?

 

Verse 3

I'd count to twelve,

Every night,
To see if I'd dwell,
Into the pretty girl in my mind.
I'd cry so hard,
Because I knew,
That no one would like a monster like me,
So I remained to not be choose.
It didn't matter who talked to me,
Parents,
The bullies, the teachers, or the people who pitied me.
It never mattered cause to this day,
I can't even look in the mirror and say to myself, "Happy Birthday"

 

Chorus 

Mirror, mirror, I must confess,
I feel like cutting,
To the fullest extent.
Mirror, mirror, just tell me,
Is this a teenage phase,
Or is it a disorder eating me?
Mirror, mirror, I'm so afraid,
Is it just me,
Or am I just a mistake?
At times when I cry,
Through every single night session,
I still think I see someone loosing their mind,
And then I say, "Oh wait, that's my reflection,"
Mirror.

Well, I'm trying to keep myself from crying while typing this. I feel like these words speak out to me. The hating my own reflection in the mirror, the pain, the inflicting emotions... I love this. And if I were able to listen to it, I would have it on repeat.
