"My Reflection" by Echo Tide ------------------------------- Lyrical Creation: © 2025 Echo Tide Musical Arrangement: © 2025 Echo Tide All Rights Reserved | Copyright © 2025 Echo Tide ------------------------------------------------------------- I wish you all my love Wish I could give you some freedom I see you stare, my reflection I know you’re scared of affection But I wish you all my love I know the places you come from I see you stare, my reflection Don’t give up now, my reflection Mmm I treat emotions as a one-way street So if I’m looking after yours, I can’t be looking after me Was either yours or mine, I didn’t know there was an in-between I always gave you the attention as a way to keep the peace Cause I believe the OCD when it says “You never mattered! And every time you raise your voice, you end up invalidated! So stop tryna be somebody when the fact of the matter! Is nobody understands, so stop complaining and take it!” Yeah, when I feel like you don’t hear me Then I feel like I don’t matter When I feel like I don’t matter I stop letting you get near me But the further I get from you That’s when I start feeling lonely But I don’t tell you how I’m feeling Cause last time nobody heard me Hear me? I wish you all my love Wish I could give you some freedom I see you stare, my reflection I know you’re scared of affection But I wish you all my love I know the places you come from I see you stare, my reflection Don’t give up now, my reflection Mmm Mom, I love you, but sometimes I feel like I just wasn’t heard Now when I feel, I feel like saying something might make it worse I know you love me, but some days you simply didn’t see my hurt! And when you yelled at me, that really got me questioning my worth! Dad, I love you, and I’m so grateful for how much you were home! I only wish you hadn’t wasted so much time on your phone! I know you love me, but it’s hard to talk to someone I don’t really know! That’s probably why it feels so awkward when we’re sitting alone! And maybe this is why I struggle with relating to guys! I’ve always felt more comfortable with having girls in my life! That's not a problem, I’m just thinking ‘bout how I socialize It’s pretty crazy how your parents shape so much of your mind Ahh I wish you all my love Wish I could give you some freedom I see you stare, my reflection I know you’re scared of affection But I wish you all my love I know the places you come from I see you stare, my reflection Don’t give up now, my reflection Mmm My OCD makes me OCD about OCD Crazy right? I know, and I can’t even help it, I think Then I start questioning if I even have the right to say I have it I mean, it’s not like I actually have a diagnosis Maybe I convince myself to think that I’m a psychopath But if that’s true, then isn’t that enough to label me psychotic? Wait, this isn’t even what this song’s about But this is what goes through my head, and it’s too loud! It’s way too loud! (Way too loud) I can barely breathe in this And I can barely think of it I just want some peace again I just want some peace... I wish you all my love Wish I could give you some freedom I see you stare, my reflection I know you’re scared of affection But I wish you all my love I know the places you come from I see you stare, my reflection Don’t give up now, my reflection My reflection Don’t give up now, my reflection I see my reflection Don’t give up now, my reflection ------------------------------- Lyrical Creation: © 2025 Echo Tide Musical Arrangement: © 2025 Echo Tide All Rights Reserved | Copyright © 2025 Echo Tide -------------------------------------------------------------
