“MIRROR TALK”
(Intro)
Everybody got opinions.
Funny… mine are the loudest.
(Verse 1)
I keep a smile on my face so nobody asks what’s wrong,
Then I get home and the silence starts writing all my songs.
Looking at the mirror like, “Who you tryna fool today?”
Built a hundred walls and somehow still don’t feel safe.
I tell myself I’m good, but my actions disagree,
Running from the past while it’s running next to me.
Every single step feels heavier than before,
Trying to lock the pain outside, it keeps kicking down the door.
People only see the wins when they finally come around,
Never see the nights I spent face-first on the ground.
Had a thousand second guesses screaming in my ear,
Funny how success don’t make insecurity disappear.
(Hook)
I’ve been fighting with the mirror,
Trying to recognize my face.
Every version that I buried
Still keeps begging me to stay.
If I lose myself tomorrow,
Tell me where I went.
‘Cause I’m tired of pretending
That I’m somebody else.
(Verse 2)
Pressure on my shoulders like it’s stitched into my skin,
Everybody wants the story after seeing how you win.
Nobody was there when the pages stayed blank,
When I questioned every dream and every dollar in the bank.
I don’t need another lecture, I need room to breathe,
Spent so long chasing peace I forgot to believe.
Maybe healing ain’t a finish line waiting at the end,
Maybe it’s waking up and choosing not to quit again.
(Outro)
Maybe the battle never ends.
Maybe that’s not the point.
Maybe the victory is waking up…
And still deciding to keep going.
