broken glass

[Verse 1]
I could say what it's like to fear your reflection
To look for each way to make you feel less than
I may tell you what it's like to admire yourself
But that story wouldn't be my truth to tell

[Verse 2]
Yeah, all my friends call me pretty
And assure me I'm skinny
Yet the women that hate me speak the truths I avoid
I pity the image they seek to destroy
Every uplifting word comes from people I trust, though
And a million compliments could never erase an insult

[Pre-Chorus]
When I hear whispering behind my back
It's hard to believe it's not about
All of the things that I think I lack
My worries keep rising, pulling me down

[Chorus]
Are the mirrors warped?
Covered in dust and smudges
How can I love my own face
When everything looks out of place?
My reflection's growing cracks
How can I see clearly in broken glass?

[Verse 3]
Can't help but wonder how to improve
Done my best, what's left for me to do?
Is it my appearance or is it my self-esteem
Never exceeding expectations seems like a recurring theme

[Pre-Chorus]
When I hear whispering behind my back
It's hard to believe it's not about
All of the things that I think I lack
My worries keep rising, pulling me down

[Chorus]
Are the mirrors warped?
Covered in dust and smudges
How can I love my own face
When everything looks out of place?
My reflection's growing cracks
How can I see clearly in broken glass?

[Bridge]
I used to be so proud of my smile
I've heard it hasn't looked the same in a while
Sometimes my reflection is my own worst enemy
A constant reminder of all I'm missing
Magazines feature the girls I could never be
Fissures in mirrors are all I can clearly see

[Chorus]
Are the mirrors warped?
Caked in dust and stains
Sick of the face I wear every day
My reflection's growing cracks
How can I see clearly in broken glass?

[Outro]
Can I see past
The beauty I lack?
Can I find
The beauty I have?
