And as I try to put myself to sleep tonight
Engulfed by thoughts that burn like light
I see a fire of emotions flare up
It ain't me, but it won't just stop
It gulps me quickly within
And soon I see myself suffocated and struggling
What has become of me
The mirror refuses to acknowledge what I wish to see
A simple girl with scars so many
Waking up to fresh new wounds in plenty
So many accusations
So many allegations
Not a bit of truth to them
What have you made of me?
What has become of me
The mirror refuses to acknowledge what I wish to see
A girl with expectations none
Broken,  but trying to heal everyone
What was it that made you doubt over me
What was it that I failed to give
An unrecognisable face in the mirror
What has become of me
The mirror refuses to acknowledge what I wish to see
I have tried everything to keep you happy.  A girl so scarred, I tried to give you my smile.  But what I have become is not what I am or what I am supposed to be.  And I just realized while healing you I just ended up hurting myself!
