Mirror, Mirror


Mirror, mirror in my hand,

Why can't you understand

That you show me everything but what I want to see

And who I want to be

 

Mirror, mirror on the table

How will I ever be able

To do what I want to do?

This is something that I never knew.

 

Mirror, mirror on the screen

I have so much that I have seen.

I've always wanted to ask you why,

Why should I even try?

 

Mirror, mirror on the wall

Why can't I stand proud and tall?

Why can't I love more

And do so without feeling sore?

 

Mirror, mirror on a stand

Please keep me from feeling bland,

Help me know what to say

And keep me from fading away.
