Story Behind The Song
Self-examination is important, but sometimes we can go too far and become over-critical and not see all the good things we have. Sometimes you need to look at yourself from the outside

Lyrics
I thought that growing up meant things would just make sense
I thought that being insecure would be past tense
But I feel like an untucked shirt on a walk of shame
I'm walking on my own path and I still feel lost
A starry sky can't guide me when I feel Star Crossed
My mistakes and a lifetime of failures weigh on my brain
I'll stop looking in the mirror
Start trying to see clearer
Stop looking in the mirror
Start trying to see clearer
Mirror mirror on the wall
I'm not so fragile
Mirror mirror on the wall
I'm not so small
I gotta stop looking in the mirror, mirror
I gotta start trying to see clearer, clearer
I've been spending too much time inside my skin
Focused on my loss instead of all my wins
I should look outside myself to see all that is right
I'll stop looking in the mirror
Start trying to see clearer
Stop looking in the mirror
Start trying to see clearer
Mirror mirror on the wall
I'm not so fragile
Mirror mirror on the wall
I'm not so small
I gotta stop looking in the mirror, mirror
I gotta start trying to see clearer, clearer
I can see right now
Why I have felt so out-of-sync
My life isn't so bad
When I don't start to over-think
Don't over-think
I'll stop looking in the mirror
Start trying to see clearer
Stop looking in the mirror
Start trying to see clearer
Mirror mirror on the wall
I'm not so fragile
Mirror mirror on the wall
I'm not so small
I gotta stop looking in the mirror, mirror
I gotta start trying to see clearer, clearer
