The Mirror Lied

Woke up with a stranger in my skin

Same old face, but something's wearing thin

Tried to smile, but it cracked like glass

Echoes staring back, stuck in the past

I touch the frame, but nothing feels right

Like the soul inside forgot how to fight

The mirror lied when it said I’d heal

Showed me whole when I couldn’t feel

Told me I’d be strong again

But every glance reminds me when

You broke the part of me I hide

And now I know… the mirror lied

I dress the wound and play pretend

But truth’s a ghost that won’t descend

Your shadow fits behind my eyes

No matter how I burn the lies

I see a smile that doesn’t belong

I hear my voice, but it sounds all wrong

The mirror lied when it swore I’d mend

Sold me hope I couldn't defend

Promised light was on its way

But left me darker every day

It showed a man I can’t confide—

'Cause now I know… the mirror lied

Now silence speaks louder than screams

And peace is just a thing in dreams

I trace the lines that time won't mend

Each scar a word I can't defend

I used to trust what I could see

Now glass just stares right back at me

You turned my truth into disguise

Now every reflection’s built on lies

The mirror lied with a perfect face

But never showed the empty space

Told me I’d survive the fall

But never showed the cracks at all

Now every piece I try to find

Just proves to me… the mirror lied

Yeah, I believed…

But the mirror lied…
