Mirror On You

You walk in loud

Head held high

Laugh so hard when someone cries

Passing notes with perfect nails

Point and smirk like it never fails

But when the crowd fades

And your jokes burn out

Tell me

Who’s left

When the lights die down

You think you’re better

You think you’re known

You build your kingdom on breaking bones

But every name you call

You carve in your own skin too

You think you’re stronger when you’re unkind

But all that power is just a disguise

‘Cause every time you hurt us

The mirror’s on you

You roll your eyes

You steal their seat

Screenshot scars like it’s a meme

But I’ve seen cracks behind your grin

Trembling hands when you plug your phone in

When the DMs sting

And they cut you deep

Do you swallow words

That you’d never speak

What did they say to you first

Who taught you you’re safest when you strike first

Whose shadow are you still fighting in your sleep

I see the girl behind the glare

Mascara streaks

Pulled-out hair

You’re drowning in the same storm you throw at me

So put the armor down

Let the rage unwind

You’re not what they did to you

You’re more than the pain you hide

For every heart you bruise

Yours is bruised in two

You think you’re better

But I see you

Yeah

I see you
