Mirror, mirror on the wall
Can I change your reflection at all?
I never use to hate the image I now see
I use to actually like the person staring back at me
I use to love my green eyes
Now all I see in them is the tears I cry
Once upon a time I liked my cute button nose
The way my cheeks blushed rose
I adored my sprinkling of freckles on my ivory skin
The tiny dimple in my chin
I use to like the way my hair framed my face
The way it was blown out of place
I liked my lopsided smile that made my eyes squint
And I even liked the imperfection in it
I liked my short stature and my tiny feet
The way I'd always been a little off beat
I had begun to accept my scars too
But that all changed when I met you
I can change the few things I didn't like back then
They are controllable; things I have a say in
The reflection now is fatally flawed as you can see
The things that need fixing are things no one can change about me
I can't go back and change the year I was conceived
And I can't change my ethnicity
The reflection in the mirror mocks me day after day
For in it is the woman you tossed away
The one you could never love in the least
Just the beauty hiding within the beast
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Can I change your reflection at all?
