[Verse 1]
I wore your name like smoke
Too long on my skin
Smiled at the cracks
While I let you walk in
Now I found my spine
Under the bruise and grit
You call it a phase
I call it me again
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't bend for the room
I don't shrink for the crown
You can look me in the eye
Watch me hold my ground
One more step, one more breath
I feel it in my chest
[Chorus]
I'm a mirror with teeth
I don't break for you
I'm a mirror with teeth
I bite back, I do
Say my name real clear
When I stand right here
I'm a mirror with teeth
I don't break for you
[Verse 2]
Red in my shoes
From the mile I ran
Bent every rule
Just to make my stand
Now the door swings wide
And the fear steps out
I learned how to leave
Without looking down
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't bend for the room
I don't shrink for the crown
You can look me in the eye
Watch me hold my ground
One more step, one more breath
I feel it in my chest
[Chorus]
I'm a mirror with teeth
I don't break for you
I'm a mirror with teeth
I bite back, I do
Say my name real clear
When I stand right here
I'm a mirror with teeth
I don't break for you
[Bridge]
Keep your half-lit praise
Keep your borrowed shame
I've been quiet too long
Now I know my name
If you come too close
You'll learn what I mean
I shine, I cut
I stay mean and clean
[Chorus]
I'm a mirror with teeth
I don't break for you
I'm a mirror with teeth
I bite back, I do
Say my name real clear
When I stand right here
I'm a mirror with teeth
I don't break for you
