Mirror

Hallway, high school
Their words cut deeper than they know
Get up, look cool
put on some glitter for the show
Trying to fit the archetype
But something isn't feeling right
Weekends alone
They say they'll call but never do
Wait by the phone
Hope someone notices you
Replicate their every move
To fit the mold and make it through
Cause what you see in the mirror isn't clearer
Than the fight that's in your heart
Love yourself first, in your own words
Don't let them tear you apart
Just keep your eyes
On what's inside
Cause the mirror lies
Get thin, fit into jeans
That you don't even like
Change clothes five times
But you are just the perfect size
He'll love you just the way you are
If he's good enough to hold your heart
And now there's whispers, small town
Like fire it takes ahold of you
Reflect perfect
Just smile and hold back the truth
Don't let them see that your afraid
They'll never know you anyway
Cause what you see in the mirror isn't clearer
Than the fight that's in your heart
Love yourself first, in your own words
Don't let them tear you apart
Just keep your eyes
On what's inside
Cause the mirror lies
Cause the mirror lies
Ten years later
Everything you knew you'd be
Look in the mirror
Tell the girl that's still fourteen
Be someone you can behind
Someone that you recognize
Cause the mirror isn't clearer
Than the fight that's in your heart
Love yourself first, in your own words
Don't let them tear you apart
(Criticize me, it won't define me
Criticize me, it won't define me)
Just keep your eyes
On what's inside
Cause the mirror lies
Cause the mirror lies
