Girl in the Mirror Lyrics

There's a girl in the mirror

The perfect best friend

When I smile she smiles back at me

She listens politely and goes where I go

She loves all of my favorite things

She's the part of myself

I'd want others to see

As long as no one knows

What's underneath

But that girl lives in the mirror

Tucked away just out of reach

There's glass and panels blocking

Her from joining reality

And she knows all my stupid mistakes

Insecurities and heartbreaks, oh

And as much as I want to meet her

She's a step just out of a reach

There's a girl

In the mirror she's never upset

She sees the good in everything

She's cool with the cool kids

And smartest in the class

And don't care what others think

She plays it safe

Isn't reckless

And thinks 'fore she speaks

The way my parents

Have always taught me

But that girl lives in the mirror

Tucked away just out of reach

There's glass and panels blocking

Her from joining reality

And she knows all

My stupid mistakes

Insecurities and heartbreaks, oh

And as much as I want to be her

She's a step just out of a reach

When I finally tell her

That she's all I want to be

She shakes her head

Says she wishes she was me

But that girl lives in the mirror

Tucked away just out of reach

There's glass and panels blocking

Her from joining reality

And she knows all my stupid mistakes

Insecurities and heartbreaks, oh

And as much as I want to be her

She's a step just out of a reach

A step out of reach

A step out of reach

A step out of reach
