Mirror Wars

I see you hurting

And I'm right here

But you don't see me

You talk about her like she's a ghost

The one who left you broken the most

I listen close, I hold your pain

While mine stays locked inside my veins

You say you're done with love and trust

I nod and smile through all the hurt

'Cause if you knew what's in my chest

You'd run away just like the rest

I'm fighting wars inside my mirror

Hating every line I see clearer

Flat where I should curve, strong where I should soft

I tell myself I'm not enough

So I keep quiet, keep my distance

Protect our friendship from my feelings

How could you love what I can't stand?

I'm losing battles with my own hands

Oh, mirror wars

You said you need someone who gets it

I'm right here but I won't let it

Show on my face or in my eyes

I've built these walls, perfected lies

My arms too strong, my shoulders wide

My legs too thin, nowhere to hide

I hate this body, hate this frame

How could you ever feel the same?

I'm fighting wars inside my mirror

Hating every line I see clearer

Flat where I should curve, strong where I should soft

I tell myself I'm not enough

So I keep quiet, keep my distance

Protect our friendship from my feelings

How could you love what I can't stand?

I'm losing battles with my own hands

Oh, mirror wars

Maybe one day you'll heal your heart

Maybe one day I'll stop tearing myself apart

But until I learn to love this skin

How can I let anybody in?

I see you hurting

And I'm right here

But I don't see me

The way you might
