lyrics
When you were young you were fine,
Innocent and kind.
No problems, no troubles to mark your mind.
Now you’re challenging perceptions.
Got new attire and changed your looks
To accommodate the soul that shook.
A personality that gave more than it took,
A genuine reflection.
This is me.
This is what I look like.
Sometimes I think I’m just a mirror to everyone I meet.
I’ll become a carbon copy; try to fit like a puzzle piece.
My overall character lacks individuality,
But it might just be in my mind, so that’s fine with me.
This is me.
This is what I look like.
I can’t stay in the same place much longer,
I can feel the tension.
Late nights and small fights, the discomfort
Is too much to mention.
But I love you, so I’ll separate peacefully.
Strike a nerve, quick, on your feet.
Crack a smile like it’s easy.
Innocent and kind.
No problems, no troubles to mark your mind.
Now you’re challenging perceptions.
Got new attire and changed your looks
To accommodate the soul that shook.
A personality that gave more than it took,
A genuine reflection.
This is me.
This is what I look like.
Sometimes I think I’m just a mirror to everyone I meet.
I’ll become a carbon copy; try to fit like a puzzle piece.
My overall character lacks individuality,
But it might just be in my mind, so that’s fine with me.
This is me.
This is what I look like.
I can’t stay in the same place much longer,
I can feel the tension.
Late nights and small fights, the discomfort
Is too much to mention.
But I love you, so I’ll separate peacefully.
Strike a nerve, quick, on your feet.
Crack a smile like it’s easy.
