Snow White


Mirror, mirror on the wall,

Why do you lie about it all?

 

Why is it never what you say?

Why can’t the lies just go away?

 

I wish you’d show me the truth,

Show me who I really am,

 

Show the world my real face,

See if then me they’ll embrace,

 

Show them my stains from tears,

And all my heartbreaks through the years,

 

See if then they care to see,

All the things about me,

 

Show them my bruises,

Show them my scars,

 

Show them what hides behind my bars,

And in the darkness of my shadows,

 

Tell them all the secrets I hide,

Let them know why I’m shy,

 

Let the world know the truth,

See if they love me then,

 

Show me who I really am,

Show me mirror on the wall.
