[Verse 1]
Amelia walks in
Room tilts her way
Silver tongue
Bright skin
Crowds start to sway
I fold my arms
Hide in my chair
Laugh at her jokes
Wish I was there
[Pre-Chorus]
Everyone’s leaning closer
I’m shrinking in my seat
Counting every flaw
Like beads between my teeth
[Chorus]
Mirror
Be kind
I’m trying
Don’t just show what’s wrong with me
I’m tired of always dying
In a war that no one sees
If she’s the sun
All shining
What if I’m still something too
Mirror
Be kind
Remind me
There’s a place for me
Not just for you
[Verse 2]
I trace my scars
Thumb on my chin
Pick at my past
Like I could shed this skin
They say her name
Like some sweet tune
I mouth along
Pretend there’s room
[Pre-Chorus]
Every laugh feels louder
When it’s not mine
I’m scrolling through my phone
Just to kill the time
[Chorus]
Mirror
Be kind
I’m trying
Don’t just show what’s wrong with me
I’m tired of always dying
In a war that no one sees
If she’s the sun
All shining
What if I’m still something too
Mirror
Be kind
Remind me
There’s a place for me
Not just for you
[Bridge]
What if I’m quiet gold
Buried under all this doubt (all this doubt)
What if the missing piece
Has been me this whole time
Left out
[Chorus]
Mirror
Be kind
I’m trying
Teach me how to look and stay
To see a heart still fighting
Not just things I’d throw away
If she’s the sun
Still rising
I can be a softer moon
Mirror
Be kind
Stand by me
I’m becoming me
Just give me room
