Reflection Lyrics

[Verse]
Self esteem as low as submarines,
Hurting one's own self, just to feel supreme
Trying to look like stars on the movie screens
Always working out, all the dieting.
Why, do you try to fit in?

Which outfit do you like best on me?
Do you think this makes me look too big?
O M G, my hair is paper thin.
I think I may need extensions.
Why, do I try to fit in?
[Bridge]
But…who am I to say I'm not good enough?
Like trying to add color to the Mona Lisa.
You're the painter, I am just the picture, I'm just the picture.
So please forgive me, wasn't thinking clearly. So…
[Chorus]
I've got to, I've got to be me.
I must admit it's not easy to see what You see
Help me see, what You see every time You look at me.
Every time You look at me.

[Verse]
Living up to people's expectations
Must be prim and proper in front of them
Blinded by the labels they put on me
Can't see my unique identity
Is this really necessary?

Gravity is not a friend to me
Downhill slopes, stalking calamity
Known from cutting, drinking, drugs and depression
Masking pain, lost in frustration
How can I feel again?
[Bridge]
But…who am I to say I'm not good enough?
Like trying to change the chorus in a rock monologue
But You're the conductor in this orchestra, in this orchestra.
So please forgive me, wasn't thinking clearly. So….
[Chorus]
(Pause)
[Chorus: x2]
(Talking) So You like me like I am? That's really tight. So I don't have to look like that or act like that? So just be me….thanks!
