[Intro]
mm-mm
pull yourself together
again
[Verse 1]
mirror cracked by bathroom light
mascara running down my eyes
deep breath, fix the smile
act normal for a little while
“you’re okay”
say it twice
even if it sounds like lies tonight
cold sink under shaking hands
trying hard not to collapse again
[Pre-Chorus]
talking to my reflection
like she knows how to save me
[Chorus]
mirror, mirror
tell me how to hold myself together
(mirror, mirror)
how to stop falling apart forever
standing in front of myself again
trying not to let the darkness win
whole world sees the outside version
while I’m breaking underneath my skin
oh-oh
compose yourself, dry your eyes
(dry your eyes now)
yeah-yeah
nobody needs to know you cried
mirror, mirror
please tell me I’ll survive tonight
[Post-Chorus]
(la-la-la)
fix the makeup perfectly
(la-la-la)
hide the tragedy
[Verse 2]
lipstick stains and tired eyes
practice looking “fine” tonight
head spinning, heartbeat loud
still gotta walk back out somehow
tell myself “don’t ruin this”
“don’t get emotional again”
so I swallow every feeling whole
and lock it underneath my ribs
[Pre-Chorus]
I know exactly how to look okay
even when I’m not
[Chorus]
mirror, mirror
tell me why I hate myself lately
(mirror, mirror)
why surviving feels so heavy
standing face to face with me
and I barely recognise what I see
every version getting harder
to hold together honestly
oh-oh
pretty face, blacked out mind
(blacked out mind now)
yeah-yeah
smiling while I die inside quietly
mirror, mirror
please don’t let me break tonight
[Bridge]
“breathe slowly”
“fix your expression”
“nobody can know”
I whisper survival instructions
to my own reflection
[Chorus]
mirror, mirror
tell me who I’m supposed to be
(mirror, mirror)
because I don’t feel like me lately
standing in fluorescent light
trying hard not to cry tonight
whole world gets the polished version
while I hide the wreck inside
oh-oh
compose yourself one more time
(one more time now)
yeah-yeah
even if it hurts to stay alive
mirror, mirror…
please tell me I’ll be okay eventually
[Outro]
deep breath
fix the smile
walk back out
like nothing happened at all
Beexii
