Looking in the Mirror

Looking in the mirror at myself, Wishing I could be anyone, anyone else, And I can't really tell you why, Other than I've always been afraid to fly, And even though I try I can't see the light. If only I was proud to be me, If only who I was was who I wanted to be, If only I didn't spot all my imperfections in one glance, If only I went crying, Looking in the mirror. I try so hard to be perfect, And I strive so hard to do my best, Yeah they tell me I'm worth it, But still they won't even give me a second glance, Because perfection is a word, That is so overused, Nowadays, And still I have yet to use it on me, I try and try and try so hard, but to no avail, Yeah everyone knows that I'm the one, Putting myself through hell. If only I were proud to be me, If only who I was was who I wanted to be. If only I didn't spot all my imperfections in one glance, If only I went crying Looking in the mirror at myself, Wishing I could be anyone, anyone else And I can't really tell you why, Other than I've always been afraid to fly.
