The more I try to change my reflection

The clearer and clearer the stranger in the mirror

Another day, another chance to

Wake up and hate myself or try to drown it out

Another day, another wreck, and

I think I need some help, don't leave me to myself

'Cause I get tired of all these problems I've created

The only hell I ever made was in my head

The more I try to change my reflection

The clearer and clearer the stranger in the mirror

The more I fight off my imperfections

The nearer and nearer the stranger in the mirror

Oh, the stranger in the mirror

In the mirror

Oh, the stranger in the mirror

In the mirror

They said the medication would hold up

But therapy only works if you show up

In the mirror with a face full of cold blood

Lookin' at a person I don't even know, huh

I tried numbin' it down, I tried openin' up

I tried tellin' 'em I'm lost, but it don't help

With a bottle in bag, I keep circlin' down

With all my demons, 'til I'm caught in my own hell

Gotta get it right, what's the remedy I need just to live a life?

Fake a smile for the world like this shit's fine, but I'm dyin' on the inside

The more I try to change my reflection

The clearer and clearer the stranger in the mirror

The more I fight off my imperfections

The nearer and nearer the stranger in the mirror

Oh, the stranger in the mirror

In the mirror

Oh, the stranger in the mirror

In the mirror

I've been feelin' empty, something's in the way

We can play pretend, and pretend that I'm okay

I've been feelin' empty, often in a daze

I think I'm way too far gone, but still

The more I try to change my reflection

The clearer and clearer the stranger in the mirror

The more I fight off my imperfections

The nearer and nearer the stranger in the mirror

Oh, the stranger in the mirror

In the mirror

Oh, the stranger in the mirror

In the mirror

Oh, the stranger in the mirror

In the mirror

Oh, the stranger in the mirror

In the mirror
