Mirror, mirror in front of me
Tell me, tell me what should I see?
Am I truly the person everyone believes me to be?
Words used to describe me in detail...
Skinny, scrawny, slim
Ginger, redhead, loud, gay.
And sometimes the more things change the more they stay the same.
Words used to describe me without fail...
Chubby, fat kid, blondie,
Loser, ugly, weirdo, gay.
And now some of those who bullied me are at my shows screaming my name.
Mirror, mirror in front of me
Tell me, tell me what should I see?
Am I truly the person everyone believes me to be?
Now that I'm a man, these words should be just that- words.
But they hurt so like the sharpest of the sharpest swords.
Look in this glass, what is your view?
I see who they knew, becoming new.
People see what they want to see,
It doesn't even matter if it's really me.
But you were made by The Almighty,
He created you from His heart,
And when finished, He broke the mold apart.
You are a unique piece of art.
Mirror, mirror in front of me
Tell me, tell me what should I see?
Am I truly the person everyone believes me to be?
Believe in yourself; see your own beauty,
Don't worry about what others may or may not see.
Cover yourself in love.
I am who I am.
Think what you will, see if I give a damn.
Now you understand the importance of loving you
I see who you knew, becoming new.
Mirror, mirror in front of me
Tell me, tell me what should I see?
I see the person I believe myself to be.
