i look in the mirror and see a stranger
the shell of the happy little girl i used to be
the person who could laugh without being "too loud"
too loud
too loud
too loud
but it's so quiet
the mirror stares back
and sees a dying shell of a person
a person who can't cry anymore
because they tried to protect you
but you destroyed them
yet i love you
i love you
and i miss you
i miss the person i was
before everything
before everything
i miss the person i was
because i could pretend everything was fine
and believe it
