Mirror


Can you help me?

I can't find myself

I'm on my own

 

I need more

I'm tired of this life

Can't I just be what I want?

 

Mirror

In my heart, I deceive

Not letting people see

But when I look at you

I see the truth 

The real me

 

Am I brave enough to show everyone else?

What I can show you

What will they say?

Because you don't talk

How can I deny who they want me to be?

Without losing you

Without losing me
