Hallway, high school,
Their words cut deeper than they know
Get up, look cool,
Put on some glitter for the show
Tryin' to fit the archetype
But something isn't feeling right
Weekends, alone,
They say they'll call but never do it
By, the phone,
Hope someone notices you
Replicate their every move
To fit the mold and make it through
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
Woah-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh
'Cause the mirror lies
Get thin, fit in
To 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
Now there's, whispers, small town,
Like fire it takes hold of you
Reflect, perfect,
Just smile and hold back the truth
Don't let them see that you're afraid
They'll never know you anyway!
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
Ten years, later,
Everything you knew you would be
Look in, the mirror,
Tell the girl that's still sixteen
Be someone you can get behind
Someone that you recognize
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
Woah-oh-oh (Criticize
Woah-oh-oh me, it won't
Woah-oh-oh define me)
'Cause the mirror lies
Woah-oh-oh (Criticize
Woah-oh-oh me, it won't
Woah-oh-oh define me)
'Cause the mirror lies
