Mirror Love

She looks in the mirror, at her own eyes
Admiring her features, where beauty lies
Her perfect hair, her body's every curve
Yet deep inside is what she can't observe

She sets a bar so high no one can meet
Hates every flaw, each word they speak
Wants prince charming for a special day
But he isn't coming to take her away

Mirror love, it makes her mad
Thinks she's perfect, but it's so sad
Looking for love wherever it lies
But the problem lies in her own eyes

Every night, she dreams of the one
But wakes up lonely with the rising sun
Checks her reflection, without a mark
But in her mind it remains quite dark

Trapped by the glass, lost in her pride
Missing out on love, feeling hollow inside
If she could relax, allow some sin
She'd find a real love and let him in

Mirror love, it makes her mad
Thinks she's perfect, but it's so sad
Looking for love wherever it lies
But the problem lies in her own eyes

One day she'll see, beauty's a shell
Love's in the heart, where true feelings dwell
Mirror love only shatters and fades away
Better to see a more genuine day

Mirror love, it makes her mad
Thinks she's perfect, but it's so sad
Looking for love wherever it lies
But the problem lies in her own eyes
