Reflection Songtext

Reflection Songtext
Self-esteem as low as submarines
Hurting one′s own self just to feel supreme
Try to look like stars on the movie screens
Always working out, all the dieting
Why do you try to fit in?
Which outfit do you like best on me?
Do you think this makes me look too big?
OMG, my hair is paper thin
I think I may need extensions
Why do I try to fit in?
But who am I to say I'm not good enough?
Like trying to add color to the Mona Lisa
You′re the painter, I am just a picture
I'm just a picture
So please forgive me
Wasn't thinking clearly
So I′ve got to, I gotta be me
I must admit it′s not easy to see
What you see, help me see
What you see every time you look at me
Every time you look at me
Living up to people's expectations
Must be prim and proper in front of them
Blinded by the labels they put on me
Can′t see my unique identity
Is this really necessary?
Gravity is not a friend to me
Downhill slopes, stalking calamity
Numb from cutting, drinking, drugs and depression
Masking pain, lost in frustration
How can I feel again?
But who am I to say I'm not good enough?
Like trying to change the chorus in a Rachmaninoff
But you′re the conductor in this orchestra
In this orchestra
So please forgive me
Wasn't thinking clearly
So I′ve got to, I gotta be me
I must admit it's not easy to see
What you see, help me see
What you see every time you look at me
Every time you look at me
So I've got to, I gotta be me
I must admit it′s not easy to see
What you see, help me see
What you see every time you look at me
Every time you look at me
So I′ve got to be me
It's not easy to see
Oh, help me see what you see
Every time you look at me
You look at me, yeah
Yeah
So you like me like I am?
You look at me every time
That′s pretty tight
So I don't have to look like that or act like that?
You look at me every time
Or talk like that?
I can just be me
You look at me
Hurting one′s own self just to feel supreme
Try to look like stars on the movie screens
Always working out, all the dieting
Why do you try to fit in?
Which outfit do you like best on me?
Do you think this makes me look too big?
OMG, my hair is paper thin
I think I may need extensions
Why do I try to fit in?
But who am I to say I'm not good enough?
Like trying to add color to the Mona Lisa
You′re the painter, I am just a picture
I'm just a picture
So please forgive me
Wasn't thinking clearly
So I′ve got to, I gotta be me
I must admit it′s not easy to see
What you see, help me see
What you see every time you look at me
Every time you look at me
Living up to people's expectations
Must be prim and proper in front of them
Blinded by the labels they put on me
Can′t see my unique identity
Is this really necessary?
Gravity is not a friend to me
Downhill slopes, stalking calamity
Numb from cutting, drinking, drugs and depression
Masking pain, lost in frustration
How can I feel again?
But who am I to say I'm not good enough?
Like trying to change the chorus in a Rachmaninoff
But you′re the conductor in this orchestra
In this orchestra
So please forgive me
Wasn't thinking clearly
So I′ve got to, I gotta be me
I must admit it's not easy to see
What you see, help me see
What you see every time you look at me
Every time you look at me
So I've got to, I gotta be me
I must admit it′s not easy to see
What you see, help me see
What you see every time you look at me
Every time you look at me
So I′ve got to be me
It's not easy to see
Oh, help me see what you see
Every time you look at me
You look at me, yeah
Yeah
So you like me like I am?
You look at me every time
That′s pretty tight
So I don't have to look like that or act like that?
You look at me every time
Or talk like that?
I can just be me
You look at me
