The Mirror Lyrics

I look at my life and where it's been

There's been so much drama but where do I begin

There's been so much pain I caused deep within

I know I'm the source of a lot of it on that I admit

I grew up without my dad

When lived so close to me like down the freeway

But he made that choice

But little did I know I ended up just like him

In the actions that I took I did copycat him

I want to let you know I'm not making an excuse

For the pain that I cause you

Just know that I heard you

On the day that you left

I saw myself through your eyes

I'm the reason that you cried

I should have put you first

This mirror is taunting me

With the tears in my eyes

I look in my rearview and see how far I've come

Just know that I love you

And that will never change

I'm a never-ending project

And it starts with me to put a fire to this flame

There's so much drama that's surrounding me

I don't know where to go to find some peace

I feel like I'm losing my mind one cell at a time

When I'm curled up in a corner crying

I have to look within cause it starts with me

I know it hurts so bad to face a man called me

But when it's said and done

It needs to be done to kill what's plaguing me

Makes me say oh

If I want my life to change I've gotta do the work

It all has to start with me

Makes me say oh

I've gotta look within and make that change

It all has to start with me

I took a look at myself

And decided things need to change

I'm so tired of the struggles

I'm so tired of the pain

But I had to first realize

That I am worthy

That I am surely destined for something greater

That I haven't seen

I'm not defined by my past

And you can't tell me different

I'm not defined by my dad

And that mess that he did

My love was built to last

Even when I get stagnant

Cause I picked myself up dusted off

And I became extravagant

And became something stronger than before

I'm no longer hesitant

To profess my love to you and loving life

And make it fantastic

No more status quo I am going all out

Putting love first breaking down walls

Breaking those chains and I slap it in a hertz

No more doubting the destiny that is laid before me

Manifesting greatness

For both you and me

Shattering that mirror to the past

It don't live here anymore

The world can't tell me different

That man don't live here anymore

There's so much drama that's surrounding me

I don't know where to go to find some peace

I feel like I'm losing my mind one cell at a time

When I'm curled up in a corner crying

I have to look within cause it starts with me

I know it hurts so bad to face a man called me

But when it's said and done

it needs to be done to kill what's plaguing me

Makes me say oh

If I want my life to change I've gotta do the work

It all has to start with me

Makes me say oh

I've gotta look within and make that change

It all has to start with me

Makes me say oh

If I want my life to change I've gotta do the work

It all has to start with me

Makes me say oh

I've gotta look within and make that change

It all has to start with me
