The Mirror Lies

You talk like you know my reflection
But baby, I've changed direction
Used to bend to every word you'd say
Now I dance in my own way

Your shadow tried to claim my light
But truth looks different in the night
You played a game I learned too well
Now I'm the secret you can't tell

Every look, every sound
You think you've got me figured out
But darling, I'm not what you think
I'm the poison and the drink

The mirror lies, can't you see?
You lost the version you built of me
I don't break, I redefine
Every scar becomes a sign
You can chase, but you won't find
The girl you knew, she's left behind

Your perfume's fading off my skin
I breathe out where you breathe in
No fear, no tears, no disguise
Just smoke and fire in my eyes

Every move, every sound
You think you've got me figured out
But love's a spell I learned to twist
Now you're the ghost I won't miss

The mirror lies, can't you see?
You lost the version you built of me
I don't break, I redefine
Every scar becomes a sign
You can chase, but you won't find
The girl you knew, she's left behind

Don't call my name in your regret
I'm not the one you won't forget
Truth burns brighter when it's mine
This freedom tastes like red wine

The mirror lies, let it be
I found the real inside of me
You can't take what's now divine
I'm not yours, I'm the design
Every wound became my line
The girl you knew is hard to find

Now when you see my eyes
Remember, the mirror lies
