[VERSE 1]
The worst bitch of all held the mirror to my face
Then twisted every fucking line and trace
Told me beauty wasn't mine, that I was filth
A tramp not fit to shine
She painted scars I didn't earn
Lit fires just to watch me fucking burn
But now I see the frame was cracked
And every truth she bent comes back
[PRE-CHORUS]
The evil bitch said I'd never be enough
But I was made of way more stronger fucked-up stuff
[CHORUS]
Mirror of lies, shatter and fall
I see the truth behind it all
That evil fucking whore wore my doubt like a disguise
But I've unmasked her hollow fucking eyes
No more fear, no more disguise
I break the mirror of her fucked-up lies
[VERSE 2]
She whispered poison shit in my sleep
Made sure my roots would never fucking keep
But I have grown through broken glass
And now I rise to face the past
That evil bitch called me an ugly piece of shit
Called me mad
But I remember what I had
A heart the bitch couldn't replicate
A soul she tried to desecrate
[PRE-CHORUS]
The evil bitch said I'd never be enough
But I was made of way more stronger fucked-up stuff
[CHORUS]
Mirror of lies, shatter and fall
I see the truth behind it all
That evil fucking whore wore my doubt like a disguise
But I've unmasked her hollow fucking eyes
No more fear, no more disguise
I break the mirror of her fucked-up lies
[BRIDGE]
Each shard reflects the girl I lost
But now I know what freedom cost
And in the glass I see myself at last
So clear
Not broken
Just reborn from all the fucking fear
[FINAL CHORUS — VARIATION]
Mirror of lies, shattered at last
I now know the truth behind it all
That bitch used to wear my doubt like a disguise
But now all that stares are fucking hollow eyes
No more fear, no more fucking disguise
I broke the damned mirror of all that evil bitch's fucked-up lies
[OUTRO]
My dear fairy godmother, I wish you were here to see
Through all the pain and doubt, through all the suffering
I am finally free
I never went to the fancy ball
And that prince you warned me of
The one the people hold on a fucking pedestal
At the right moment
Will fall
