I look in the mirror and don't recognize

the person staring back at me

what happen to the person i once was

she's only a memory

Life dealt her some hard cards to play with

And it changed her life in so many ways

She can never go back to who she once was

It would be like trying to find your way out a maze

So many twist and turns and dead ends

never knowing which way to go

sometimes running through it so fast

sometimes walking around really slow

But each turn brings a new discovery

A new lesson to take on her way

in hopes that she will find comfort

and believe in a better day

So this person i see in the mirror

She has aged far more inside then her years

has lived so much of her life already

has shedded so many tears

She wonders how she ever got this far

without completely falling apart

always telling herself that tomorrow

is a chance for a brand new start

Always giving herself hope

that if theres a will theres always a way

If it doesn't happen tomorrow

Then it will come another day

I can tell that sometimes she's tired

She struggles to keep her head high

Taking the weight of the world on her shoulders

Knowing that all she can do is try

So this girl in the mirror that i see

She doesn't always walk that straight line

There were times she thought about giving up

Days she wondered if it was really worth trying

She had been warned that life wasn't easy

but never told how hard it would be

That girl in the mirror, she's still learning

That girl in the mirror has become me
