Lyric

Light is dancing on the puddles on the ground

You’re laughing there, a dazzling, radiant sound

In the circle of friends, you smile with such grace

If only I could wear that look upon my face

"You're amazing," I whispered in my mind

But the words were left somewhere far behind

In the mirror, to my own small, quiet plea

I spoke the truth that no one else could see

I wanted to be just like the "You"

Reflecting in the glass, so bright and true

Even when I try, I can't mimic your style

This weakness hurts, and it’s been a while

But somewhere deep inside, I always knew

Because we’re different, I stayed close to you

Even if the words never found their way

They reached your heart, anyway

Through the foggy glass, looking at the view

I watched the gaze that belonged only to you

The honesty you have, that I could never find

Even your fears seemed to sparkle and unwind

"You're wonderful," is what I want to say

But I’m just looking up, day after day

Even though I’m standing right by your side

Your back feels miles away, nowhere to hide

I can't become the person that you are

Always comparing, seeing you as a star

Your sense of style, the melody of your voice

They’re out of reach, not even a choice

But I know the truth, the two of us

Connected by a thread through the quiet fuss

Liking you, envy, a tangled-up mess

A chaotic everyday, I must confess

The "Me" I want to be, the "Me" I’ll never reach

Still, I want to move, let the lessons teach

Crossing through the mirror, what did I find?

The smiles of acceptance, finally aligned!

Because we’re different, it was for the best

Now I can finally put my heart to rest

Even if I can't become the same as you

I just wanted to be here, through and through

Neither you nor I are ever alone

Wandering the paths that we’ve always known

Inside the mirror, at the end of the line

The real me is starting to shine!
