every morning i get up
every day it's just the same
i turn in fear to my mirror
looking at someone to blame
the eyes that stare back
are lost in confusion and guilt
the soul inside screams out
through all the pain she's built
she wants to know why
but knows what could come
her whole body trembles
while her soul grows numb
she's not the girl she used to be
if anything, she's brand new
i stare at her, wanting to help
but i don't know what to do
i turn away from my mirror
disgrace in my eyes
denying any similarity
from this girl that i dispise
i walk out of my room
the truth in my mind
i shake it away
she's not like my kind
if anything, we're the opposite
if anything, we're the same
you see, that girl was me
& that's the girl i blame...
