The Girl In The Mirror

i look in the mirror and i see a girl,
who is staring back at me?
i dont know who she is,
because shes not the girl i want to be.

she puts a smile on,
while inside she is falling apart.
she says " i'm okay", as pain fills her heart.
she pretends not to care,
as everyone slowly walks away.

she hides behind her mask
and pretends to me okay.
she is scared to open up,
and call someone her best friend.
they all turn out the same,
never really care in the end.

she is scared to let people close,
it always ends up as heartache.
she decides to trust someone,
but it always ends up as a big mistake.

she feels like a stranger in her own home,
like she doesnt even belong.
she tries the best she can
but it always seems to be wrong.


she freezes up at the word "love",
people throw it around to much.
her muscles constract,
as she is afraid to be touched.

she has ideas for the future,
hopes and dreams of her own.
but she doesnt hold her breath,
because disappointment is all she has ever known.

she asks "why am i never good enough?",
"why am i always 2nd choice?"
people tell shes got to stand up for what she wants,
she got find her own voice.

i know who  i wanna be,
its all so clearer.
but the fact of life is,
im only the girl in the mirror.
