Girl in the Mirror

There's a girl in the mirror
The perfect best friend
When I smile she smiles back at me
She listens politely and goes where I go
She loves all of my favorite things

She's the part of myself
I'd want others to see
As long as no one knows
What's underneath

But that girl lives in the mirror
Tucked away just out of reach
There's glass and panels blocking
Her from joining reality
And she knows all my stupid mistakes
Insecurities and heartbreaks, oh
And as much as I want to meet her
She's a step just out of a reach

There's a girl
In the mirror she's never upset
She sees the good in everything
She's cool with the cool kids
And smartest in the class
And don't care what others think

She plays it safe
Isn't reckless
And thinks 'fore she speaks
The way my parents
Have always taught me

But that girl lives in the mirror
Tucked away just out of reach
There's glass and panels blocking
Her from joining reality
And she knows all
My stupid mistakes
Insecurities and heartbreaks, oh
And as much as I want to be her
She's a step just out of a reach

When I finally tell her
That she's all I want to be
She shakes her head
Says she wishes she was me

But that girl lives in the mirror
Tucked away just out of reach
There's glass and panels blocking
Her from joining reality
And she knows all my stupid mistakes
Insecurities and heartbreaks, oh
And as much as I want to be her
She's a step just out of a reach

A step out of reach
A step out of reach
A step out of reach
