The Mirror Lied

[Verse 1]

The mirror told me I was wrong

Too wide, too weird, too weak, too strong

It whispered lies in silver tones

“You're not enough to be known”

[Verse 2]

It showed me scars I never earned

And every curve I should’ve burned

Pointed flaws with cruel precision

And stole my face with its revision

[Pre-Chorus]

They say beauty’s in the eye

But mine were poisoned by the lie

Reflections fed me bitter bread

Until I wished that I was dead

[Chorus]

The mirror lied, but I believed

I wore the shame that it conceived

Called myself what it defined

Forgot my soul, obeyed the line

Yeah, the mirror lied... and I subscribed

[Verse 3]

I’d practice smiles that didn’t stay

Compare myself ‘til I decayed

Cursed my skin, my laugh, my tone

Always felt too much alone

[Pre-Chorus]

I begged the glass to show me light

But it just dimmed my inner fight

Traded my truth for magazines

And killed the girl I could’ve been

[Chorus]

The mirror lied, but I obeyed

Starved my heart to fit the shade

Let self-hate be my parade

Wore makeup like a band-aid

The mirror lied... and I just prayed

[Bridge]

But somewhere deep, beneath the scream

There lived a voice, a distant dream

That whispered: “Child, you were designed

By hands divine, not plastic lines”

[Final Chorus]

So now I stand before the glass

And tell the lies to kiss my past

I wipe the fog, I see me clear

No filter now, just love and tears

Yeah, the mirror lied — but I broke the spell this year.
