Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Look at me

You may think you see who I really am

But you'll never know me

Every day

It's as if I play a part

[Verse 2]

Now I see

If I wear a mask, I can fool the world

But I cannot fool my heart

[Chorus]

Who is that girl I see

Staring straight back at me?

When will my reflection show who I am inside?

[Verse 3]

I am now

In a world where I have to hide my heart

And what I believe in

[Verse 4]

But somehow

I will show the world what's inside my heart

And be loved for who I am

[Chorus]

Who is that girl I see

Staring straight back at me?

Why is my reflection someone I don't know?

[Verse 5]

Must I pretend that I'm

Someone else for all time?

When will my reflection show who I am inside?

[Bridge]

There's a heart that must be free to fly

That burns with a need to know the reason why

[Chorus]

Why must we all conceal

What we think and how we feel?

Must there be a secret me I'm forced to hide?

[Chorus]

I won't pretend that I'm

Someone else for all time

When will my reflection show who I am inside?

[Outro]

When will my reflection show who I am inside?
