There's a girl in the mirror

I don't know

Who she is anymore


She used to be happy

And laugh along with her friends

But now she's alone


The girl in front of me

Has too many expectations

And a distorted view of the world


She thinks that she'll get to the top

But she's starting to realize

That she doesn't have the strength

Or the power to get there


She's realizing that she has to change

Her ways and her thoughts

But she can't

Because it's become a part of her


She can't get away from the desire

For more, for better, for perfection

She'll give up anything

For the life she wants


She wants the whole world

That's the only way she'll be happy


There's a girl in the mirror

And she's scared

That she'll fail


And never live the life

She dreams of
