Beautiful, almost perfect,
mirror on the wall
I confide and can not hide,
you know my secrets one and all.
Beautiful, almost perfect mirror,
there's more to confess
today I ate and gained more weight
now I like myself even less.
Beautiful, almost perfect mirror,
I come to you again
I felt the urge and had to purge
the contents from within.
Beautiful, almost perfect mirror,
you're not so perfect after all
as I break and body aches
you just watch the teardrops fall.
DASTARDLY, LYING MIRROR,
you cut me like a knife
had I stayed and played the game
you would have claimed my life.
So NO MORE perfect mirror,
I choose to be just me
in every way, from today
you get just what you see.
