[Verse 1] The sunset’s burning on my skin, But inside it’s colder than it’s ever been. I touch the mirror, the cracks all glow, A stranger’s face, but it’s the one I know. I’ve been screaming quietly for years, But silence answers louder than my tears. [Pre-Chorus] Every shard still holds my light, Even when the world won’t get it right. I’ve carried scars you’ll never see, And they’re the only truth of me. Don’t you dare call me unbroken, These pieces are the words unspoken. [Chorus] I’m the mirror you won’t face, Silver lines you can’t erase. There’s beauty in the wounds I’ve made, But you just look the other way. You don’t hear the song I sing, You just cut away the strings. Under all your endless praise for them, I’m the ghost you never let in. [Verse 2] I trace the fractures with my hand, Trying to find a place to stand. The light reflects but fades too fast, I’m chasing shadows of my past. You see the surface, smooth and clear, But you never come close enough to hear. [Bridge] If you’d just lean in, you’d understand, The cracks don’t mean I can’t withstand. They’re the proof that I’ve survived, That I was here, that I’m alive. You think broken means I’m weak, But it’s my edges that make me unique. [Chorus] I’m the mirror you won’t face, Silver lines you can’t erase. There’s beauty in the wounds I’ve made, But you just look the other way. You don’t hear the song I sing, You just cut away the strings. Under all your endless praise for them, I’m the ghost you never let in. Still I’ll shine through shattered glass, Even if you never ask. [Outro] One day the cracks will catch your eyes, And you’ll see the fire I kept inside. I was never small, never gone, I’ve been the broken one all along. And maybe then you’ll finally see , The beauty you missed in me. [Chorus] I’m the mirror you won’t face, Silver lines you can’t erase. There’s beauty in the wounds I’ve made, But you just look the other way. You don’t hear the song I sing, You just cut away the strings. Under all your endless praise for them, I’m the ghost you never let in. [Final chorus] I'm the mirror you didn't face, The silver lines you didn’t erase. I'm proud of the beauty I’ve made, You want to look, I turn away. I'm strong with the song I sing, Standing tall without your strings. I don't need your empty praise for them, I’m the sun you can't let in.
