Mirrors
Who's that in the mirror
I'm not who I used to be
I can feel my ribs
Bear the bones
For all to see
I don't feel alive
I don't feel okay.
I've sat here counting silence
For all the words I couldn't say
Everything I am
Comes back up
Spills outta me
My dignity.
My dignity.
I don't want to be me
I want to be pretty.
Who's that in the mirror
I don't know anymore
I look in disgust
Run the water
And close the door.
I don't feel wanted
I don't have a care
I've spent all my time trying to find
A hope that isn't there
Everything I am
Comes back up
Spills outta me
My dignity.
My dignity.
I don't want to be me
I want to be pretty.
I hope they won't see me
Like I seem to see me
I hope they see me
The way I want me to be.
I don't want to be me
I want to be pretty.
