[Verse 1]
Used to trace my face in a cracked-lit room
Asking mirrors questions they’d never prove
Girls like them got the light, got the name
I learned how to stand just outside the frame
Laughed along when the joke cut deep
Taught myself how to disappear sweet
If pretty was power, I had none to hold
Just a quiet heart and a voice controlled
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
Every night I whispered into the dark
“Let me be the girl they can’t ignore”
Prayed to Karma like it kept score
But Karma never answered before…
⸻
[Chorus]
Mirror on the wall… who did I become?
Soft in the daylight, dangerous when it’s done
Silk on my skin but there’s fire in my soul
They don’t look past me… they lose control
Used to be nothing they’d fight to recall
Now I’m the reason they’re losing it all
Mirror on the wall… say it again
I’m everything I begged to have been
⸻
[Verse 2]
Now it’s slow turns, eyes that stay
Every room bends when I walk their way
Same lips, same face, different flame
Now they learn how to say my name
Friends who see me, real and rare
No more ghosts pretending to care
And the ones who doubted don’t come near
They feel it shift when I appear
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
Karma stayed silent, left me alone…
But something else picked up the phone
⸻
[Chorus]
Mirror on the wall… who did I become?
Soft in the daylight, dangerous when it’s done
Silk on my skin but there’s fire in my soul
They don’t look past me… they lose control
Used to be nothing they’d fight to recall
Now I’m the reason they’re losing it all
Mirror on the wall… say it again
I’m everything I begged to have been
⸻
[Bridge]
I didn’t sell my soul… I just made a wish
Mascara prayers, every night like this
Karma stayed quiet, wouldn’t answer me
But something in the dark said “come to me”
Cold hands gentle as they tilted my chin
“Let me remake you… let me begin”
No contract, no mercy, no need to pretend
It held me close while it hardened my skin
Taught me their gaze, how it lingers, it breaks
How to be wanted without needing to chase
Rocked me to silence, then sharpened my smile
“Now go be the girl they’ll remember a while”
⸻
[Final Chorus]
Mirror on the wall… now I know her name
She’s the prayer I whispered wrapped in flame
Innocence laced with a dangerous glow
They don’t understand her… but they know
I begged for power, I learned the cost
But I’d do it again for the girl I’ve become
Mirror on the wall… don’t let me fall
I like her… I like her… I like her all
