I Look in the Mirror

I look in the mirror

I hate what I see

I stare at the cracks

Where confidence should be

Every scar's got a story

Every line's a mistake

I've been carrying weight

I don't know how to shake

I've been fighting myself

In the dead of the night

Trying to believe I'm worth the fight

I look at myself

I don't know what you see in me

When I'm breaking apart

At the seams, quietly

If love is a language

I never learned to speak

Tell me what you see in me

I hear all the echoes

Of words left unsaid

All the chances I wasted

Running circles in my head

I'm good at pretending

That I'm perfectly fine

But you see straight through

Every crack in the lie

You don't flinch when I fall

You don't turn when I'm weak

You stay when I'm silent

Say everything I can't speak

I look at myself

I don't know what you see in me

When I'm losing the war

With the voice inside of me

If love is a mirror

I'm scared of what it'll be

Tell me what you see in me

Maybe I'm not broken

Maybe just bent

Maybe I'm learning

What all this pain meant

If you can love me

When I'm barely holding on

Maybe I've been wrong

All along

I look in the mirror

And it's not just defeat

I see a little hope

Looking back at me

Through your eyes

I'm more than I seem

Now I'm starting to see

What you see in me

I don't hate what I see

Not tonight

Not completely
