The Girl In the Mirror

There's a girl in the mirror, I wonder who she is?
Sometimes I think I know her, sometimes I wish I did
When she looks back at me I can see she hurts inside!
Way too much pain & too many goodbyes 
She smiles with all that she has left, yet tears are left undried
And although she has got so much today, she bottles it up inside
If you look past her broken eyes to a shadow that no-one can see
It's a disguise that you won't recognise, 
That girl is really me!!!
