You don't look up

When I say your name

You just keep your head down

Like you're guilty

But you ain't

I call you beautiful

You just say it's a lie

You heard it all before

So it don't mean nothin

This time

Your sleeves are pulled down

Past your hands

Hidin' battles

You don't think I'll understand

There's marks

You're too scared to show

And it kills me

You think

You're fightin' this alone

You say you're ugly

You say you're too bruised

But don't let the past define you

'Cause it ain't tellin' you the truth

I know that you're hurt

Yeah, I know you're tired

But girl

You're fightin' your reflection

And that mirror

It's a liar

You brush off compliments

Tellin' me where they can go

Always burnin' me down

Before I get close

Turnin' what coulda been

Into somethin' small

Like what shoulda been

Never meant nothin' at all

I know you're hurt

Yeah, I know you're tired

But girl

You're fightin' your reflection

And that mirror

It's a liar

I ain't sayin

I can fix a thing

I ain't sayin

I can take that hurt away

Hell, my own reflection's a man

I can't forgive

Always screamin' 'bout

How he don't

Deserve to live

Yeah, I'm fightin' it too

But girl believe me

That mirror

Never

Speaks

The truth

Yeah I know you're hurt

I know that you're tired

But girl

You're fightin' your reflection

And that mirror

It's a liar
