Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They weigh me down, feels like I'm drowning
I'm tired of my flaws, they fill me with anxiety and I
Honestly, I'm done with hating pictures of myself
And tryna be like everybody else
I wanna be like, look like
The girl in the mirror
No one's watching her
I could try to be just like you
But I wanna be like me
The girl in the mirror
The girl in the mirror
The girl in the mirror
I'm sick of the likes
And followers, everyone's countin'
I'm sick of the lies
Smilin' but I'm crying inside
Honestly, I'm done with hating pictures of myself
And tryna be like everybody else
I wanna be like, look like
The girl in the mirror
Wanna act like, dance like
No one's watching her
I could try to be just like you
But I wanna be like me
The girl in the mirror
The girl in the mirror
Wanna wake up, no make up
And still think I'm beautiful
Wanna smile, I'm eating
And finally be comfortable with me
Finally be comfortable with me, oh
I wanna be like, look like
The girl in the mirror
Wanna act like, dance like
No one's watching her
I could try to be just like you
But I wanna be like me
The girl in the mirror
The girl in the mirror
The girl in the mirror
Girl in the mirror
The girl in the mirror

'm tired of my thoughts
もう考えるのが疲れた
They weigh me down, feels like I'm drowning
深淵まで引きずられるよう、溺れてしまいそう
I'm tired of my flaws

They feel me with anxiety and doubt
心労と不安ばかり募る

Why worry when there's a better tomorrow???
Why sad when someone says you're ugly when they're seeing their reflection on you???
Why give up when there's a lot of opportunities around us every time???
Why sad when happiness is everywhere???
Why hate yourself when you're one of a kind??
Why worry about tomorrow when God has planned everything for you??
What I'm trying to say is
There sure are reasons to be happy in this cruel world.
"Believe you can and it will really happen"
