Mirror - Morissette

Just the other day

When I saw you face to face

I almost didn’t recognize you

Tried to look away

Pretend to not know what to say

But there was no way to avoid you

Tryna gather up the strength to say what’s on my mind

But we’re speechless, frozen, trapped in time

I can’t avoid you forever

Unless I stop looking in the mirror

Gotta face my fears

Gotta face myself

Embrace the imperfection

That makes me nobody else

'Cuz I don’t wanna lose myself to this

Scared to be alone

I’m a stranger in my home

I’m giving into all the voices

Trying to be strong

When all the lights are on

Don’t know how much longer I can take it

Tired of the hide and seek

Pretending to be blind

I gotta fight it, gotta fight it

'Bout to take my demons on

And look them in the eye

'Cuz I won’t let them win this time

I can’t avoid you forever

Unless I stop looking in the mirror

Gotta face my fears

Gotta face myself

Embrace the imperfection

That makes me nobody else

'Cuz I don’t wanna lose myself to this

It’s time to be kind

To your past

Present and future self

Let go of the faces

The layers and traces

Of hatred

Gotta forgive myself

It takes time

Be a tree, not a vine

Everyday’s another chance

With all that is in me

Taking back all my sanity

And love me for who I am

I can’t avoid you forever

Unless I stop looking in the mirror

Gotta face my fears

Gotta face myself

Embrace the imperfection

That makes me nobody else

Wipe away the tears

Look within yourself

Your reflection is more than an empty shell

'Cause I’m not gonna lose myself

No I’m not gonna lose myself
