Oh mirror mirror on the wall
You say good morning after all
I still look awful, but it’s really nothing new
My hair a mess, my mouth a frown
The way I walk and move around
I’m really tired of it all and hate
How it’s my fate to lose
Holding onto thoughts I can’t convey
Yet have so much that I want to say
But when I’d try to, nothing ever came to be
Today I’m looking at the ground
Again, I lose the words I found
“So now, can’t even greet us?” they would sigh
“The poor thing”
In my garden, there lives a pretty dogwood tree
Looking on, I could feel envy envelope me
What a terrible child compared to blooming trees
Now I know I’m no good at all, I wanna fade
Fade from the world I saw
Because the world is full of riddles and mysteries
Wishing for “normal” is like chasing a pipe dream
Choking on every word, I can’t reply
It’s really dumb, I breathe and start to cry
Tripping and falling every time, so clearly
I’m getting tired of the world around me
An early bud is growing weak and falls
Without a word, she still couldn’t find them at all
With a face afraid but too awkward and sad
Ran away again, very bad, very bad
I’m ashamed to say that I can’t say a thing
Oh man, I hate being me
They spoke with roses on their tongue
Could laugh along with everyone
Exchanging words like flowers in the bloom of may
Oh mirror mirror chiding me
“I can’t be them” my head agrees
“There’s just no hope and I’m sorry for the way”
“I can’t change”
There’s a world all around painted so perfectly
Looking on, I could feel envy envelope me
I don’t wanna be here, I’m in the way I think
“What should I do?” I wanna be done
Done with myself, all I can do is run
And I could feel it as it burst within me
See how I’m full of only hurting and ugly
Nobody look at me, nobody will know
I’ll sit inside my room and cry alone
“No need to run away or change, it’s alright”
I hear a voice that came and knocked at my mind
I’d never thought I’d hear the magical words
I’m at a loss, ‘cause what do I say in return?
Now to form the words, go and don’t be afraid
What you felt inside, “Try to say” “Try to say”
But instead, what came was a cry very deep
Oh man, how dumb can I be?
Reaching the end, that’s when “tomorrow” came
And the world that I found was painted brighter days
Growing up and in time, I’m sure that you 'll find
That I’m changing every day
But carry on all of the love and that will never change
Because the world is full of riddles and mysteries
Never forgetting is like chasing a haze dream
Because we wanna tell this story again
I’ll shout the words to reach them at the end
Someday I wanna find somebody to break through
I wanna smile with them all of the time too
If I can carry on with that in my mind
Maybe then I can find out my reason in life
Patting down her bedhead, she took it all in
Moving on ahead, guess it grew in the end
A flower bloomed inside of the mirror and she
Finally replied “good morning” to me
You say good morning after all
I still look awful, but it’s really nothing new
My hair a mess, my mouth a frown
The way I walk and move around
I’m really tired of it all and hate
