Mirror
Chase Goehring Lyrics

I know it must be hard being who you are
I understand that it can be difficult to be yourself

A beautiful work of art being torn apart
Sometimes society can tear down what is beautiful

I know you must be stressed
I can see how you may be feeling overwhelmed

By the way you dress
I can tell from your appearance

Even though you always get the best
Despite having nice things

Society is crazy, baby, don't listen
The world can be confusing and harmful, but you should tune it out

You just be you and let your light listen
Embrace your individuality and let your inner beauty shine

Everything you do, and everything you are
All of your actions and qualities

Well, that's you
Make up who you are as a person

Mirror mirror on the wall, why you gotta hurt 'em all?
Reflective object, why do you have to damage people's self-worth?

You know that they heard it all
You know that people have taken notice of the negative messages

You know that it's all your fault
You realize that these negative thoughts stem from self-doubt

You know you got them all
You know that your doubts and insecurities affect others

I know you think you are nothing
I understand that you feel like you are insignificant

Let me tell you something
Allow me to share something with you

You mean more to me than what you see
You are valuable to others, despite what you may believe

I'm just being real 'cause I know how you feel
I am speaking truthfully, as I can empathize with your emotions

Who you want to be, is not what you see
The person you strive to become does not match your current self-image

Yeah, I know what a lot of people think when they look in the mirror every single day of their life
I understand that many people struggle with self-doubt and negative thoughts

Why can't I be this?, why can't I be that?
Why do I not look or act a certain way?

Why do I look this way?
Why am I not happy with my appearance?

I wish that it could fix everything that makes who I am
I wish that changing my appearance would change who I am as a person

I wish that I could be something different, but that's not in the plan
I desire change, but I am unable to control certain aspects of myself

Got a lot of people and they all up partying
Many people engage in activities to enhance their social image

Just for the image just like they made a bad decision
They make choices only to improve their public perception, which may not always be the best choice

Man, I had to break it you, and I got to break it down
I have to explain the truth bluntly

I can love the way you talk about
I admire how you express yourself

Now because
Just because

Everybody's so judgmental
Many people are critical of others without really knowing them

Everybody's so hateful
People can be cruel and unkind

They may not like the way you look
Others may dislike your appearance

But you're beautiful, so smile
However, you are still beautiful and should be hopeful and happy
