The Mirror Told Me
The mirror told me a whole bunch of lies
The mirror told me I was ugly and only beautiful on the inside
The mirror laughed as I broke down crying
The mirror painted me a horrible picture, but it was lying
No one has ever seen me as vulnerable as you did
I told you I was a suicidal man who was trying to find a way to live
You told me I should stop being suicidal and just do it
I was talking to you for hope, but you didn't want to help me through it
You only show the things wrong with me
So Why did I expect you to be strong for me?
I hate looking at you, because you're never kind
You bully me and call me names until those words stick in my mind
I told you the whole story, I never left the details short
I was wrong to play girls in revenge for the scars a few females caused
I admit that, I should have acted better and been mature
You ripped away my confidence and made me realise I was insecure
I used to hate you for it, But now I thank you
I thought you were the devil, but it turns out you were my angel
I fell in love with myself once I accepted everything that was wrong with me
The labels that people try to stick me with don't belong to me
No more tears, I'm getting to a good place
a special girl will have to fight for my heart, I'm no longer giving my love away
I've survived the worst, and I'll overcome the next things to test me
I'm ready to be the best me
The mirror told me a whole bunch of lies
The mirror told me I was ugly and only beautiful on the inside
The mirror laughed as I broke down crying
The mirror painted me a horrible picture, but it was lying
