Mirror, Mirror: Who Am I? - A1

Verse 1

I have the face of one person,
The spirit of another,
I smile when I should speak,
I hide behind the cover.

I present as a wallflower,
Quiet as a shadow on the wall,
But somewhere deep inside me
There’s a volcano waiting to call.

Pre-Chorus

One voice whispers seeds of doubt,
One voice whimpers, “Let me out.”
I hear them fighting every night,
One says hide, one says ignite.

Chorus

Mirror, mirror, who am I?
The one you see or the one inside?
I’ve been wearing this disguise so long
I don’t know where I belong.

I’m not the shadow stalking on the wall,
I’m not the silence saying nothing at all.
There’s a shining star underneath this skin—
I just don’t know how to let it out.

Mirror, mirror, tell me true…
When I look at you,
Who am I?

Verse 2

I’ve mastered total hesitation,
A masterclass in standing still,
Always waiting for permission
To become somebody real.

I’m tired of fake-it-till-I-make-it,
Tired of giving pieces away,
The more I pretend to be somebody,
The less I recognize my face.

I’m tired of being water
When I’m trying to be oil,
Tired of shrinking in the shadows,
Tired of hiding from the turmoil.

Pre-Chorus

I just gotta change the chip,
Before I go berserk and flip.
I don’t want a life of give and fake,
I want a life that’s mine to make.

Chorus

Mirror, mirror, who am I?
The one you see or the one inside?
I’ve been wearing this disguise so long
I don’t know where I belong.

I’m not the shadow stalking the wall,
I’m not the silence saying nothing at all.
There’s a shining star underneath this skin—
I just don’t know how to let it shine in.

Mirror, mirror, tell me true…
When I look at you,
Who am I?

Bridge

Am I forever stuck in Loserville?
Forever a caterpillar
That never finds its wings?

Forever the unblossomed,
Forever almost something,
Forever standing on the edge of things?

Some days I just gotta bake,
Just to quiet down the shame,
To disappear inside my head
And forget I ever had a name.

But I don’t want to get used to this,
This smaller version of the wind.
I want to cut the cord,
Snip the wire,
And finally let myself begin.

Breakdown

I want to be one pea in a pod—
Not two people fighting for the same skin.

I want to stop losing
Every time I try to win.

The more I fake,
The less I live.
The more I give,
The less I have.

And somewhere underneath it all
There’s still a voice that says—

“Come out.”

Final Chorus

Mirror, mirror, who am I?
I think I finally know why
I’ve spent my whole life hiding
The person trying to survive.

I’m not the wallflower anymore,
I’m not the shadow on the wall.
There’s a volcano underneath me—
And I’m finally gonna let it call.

I want to emerge.
I want to be free.
I want to stop pretending
And finally be—

The me that is me.

Mirror, mirror, look at me…

Who am I?

I’m the one I’ve been afraid to be.
