Kylee Bartz - The Mirror

As I stare into the mirror,
My life flashes by.
As I stare into the mirror,
Tears begin to fill my eyes.

As I stare into the mirror,
I'm looking back at myself.
As I stare inth the mirror,
I think 'what the hell? '

I've never realized
That I've been
Hiding behind so many lies.
I've never realized
How many people I have hurt.
I've never realized
All the scars I've given.
All the pain I've inflicted...
Until I stared into the mirror.

I was walking,
Not talking,
But with my actions,
I was swearing at the world.

Then I walked past
A window.
And punched it in.
I was facing a cracked reflection.

I've never realized
That I've been
Hiding behind so many lies.
I've never realized
How many people I have hurt.
I've never realized
All the scars I've given.
All the pain I've inflicted...
Until I stared into the mirror

I was dating,
Then hating
Guy after guy.
And breaking their hearts.

Then I looked down,
Into the water.
And threw a rock in.
I was looking at a scattered reflection.

I've never realized
That I've been
Hiding behind so many lies.
I've never realized
How many people I have hurt.
I've never realized
All the scars I've given.
All the pain I've inflicted...
Until I stared into the mirror
