Mirror Mirror by R.E.D

I snap at myself like I’m my own enemy,
Talk down on my name like I ain't even me.
Priorities scattered, all left to rot,
I promise the world then I give you… not.
Guilt hits heavy when I crash again,
Same mistakes loop like a song I’m in.
Some nights I wish I could shed this skin,
Be someone better than I’ve ever been.

Mirror, mirror  why you cut so deep?
Showin’ every flaw that I’m tryin’ to keep.
I break what I touch then I blame the pain,
Say I wanna change but I stay the same.
Mirror, mirror  what you showin’ me?
The man I was and who I wanna be.
Through every crack that I try to hide,
There’s still a light burnin’ on the inside.

But then I breathe, and I see what’s real,
The love in my life that I almost lost.
Two little faces lookin’ up at me,
Thinkin’ I’m strong  even when I don’t see.
Family beside me, still holdin’ on tight,
Even when I break, even when I’m not right.
I got blessings I forget when I drown in doubt,
But I’m learnin’ every day what life’s about.

Yeah, I mess up but look what I made,
A home full of moments that’ll never fade.
Kids who smile like I hung the moon,
Family that believes I’ll get better soon.
I ain’t perfect, but I’m patchin’ the cracks,
Pickin’ up pieces and takin’ my power back.
If I’m the mess, I’m also the hands that clean it up
A work-in-progress, but I’m stayin’ in the fight with it.

Mirror, mirror  why you cut so deep?
Showin’ every flaw that I’m tryin’ to keep.
I break what I touch then I blame the pain,
Say I wanna change but I stay the same.
Mirror, mirror  what you showin’ me?
Now I see strength where I used to see weak.
Through every crack that I used to hide,
I finally see the light on the inside.

Look in the mirror like, “Bruv, chill, breathe,
You’ve carried worse and you’re still on your feet.”
Yeah, you’ve slipped, but that ain’t your end,
You bounce back harder every time you bend.
You’re built from struggle, not built to quit,
Scars don’t define you  they prove you commit.
You’ve fought through storms they never even knew,
So lift your head up, bro  you got this too.

Look in the mirror and I wanna swing first, Sick of bein’ the reason everything hurts. Short fuse, bad habits, always blowin’ my shot, Act tough, act loud but it’s all I’ve got. I ruin good days just by bein’ around, Turn calm into chaos with one wrong sound. I hate that I’m the problem and I still don’t change, Like I’m wired for failure, locked in the same damn chains. I snap at myself like I’m my own enemy, Talk down on my name like I ain't even me. Priorities scattered, all left to rot, I promise the world then I give you… not.
