False Reflection
Girard
False Reflection
(Verse 1)
I’ve been looking in the mirror,
But I don’t know who I see,
Is it really me, or just a shadow,
Of the one I thought I’d be?
Every smile’s a mask I wear,
Every step’s a path they chose,
Now I’m standing in this moment,
And I don’t know where to go.
(Pre-Chorus)
I’ve lived for all the voices,
Telling me who I should be,
But in the silence of my heart,
I can’t hear me, can’t hear me.
(Chorus)
This is a false reflection,
A life built on someone else’s dream,
I’m lost in this deception,
Wishing I could be who I’m meant to be.
I’ve played the role, now I’m breaking free,
From this false reflection staring back at me.
(Verse 2)
I’ve worn these chains too long,
Not knowing how they fit,
I’ve followed every blueprint,
But it never felt legit.
Now the world feels out of focus,
And I’m questioning my face,
Am I just a stranger hiding,
Or is there still time to change my place?
(Pre-Chorus)
I’ve lived for all the voices,
Telling me who I should be,
But in the silence of my heart,
I can’t hear me, can’t hear me.
(Chorus)
This is a false reflection,
A life built on someone else’s dream,
I’m lost in this deception,
Wishing I could be who I’m meant to be.
I’ve played the role, now I’m breaking free,
From this false reflection staring back at me.
(Bridge)
What if I let go of the weight,
Of the dreams that never felt like mine?
What if I step into the light,
And leave behind the lies I’ve lived in line?
It’s time to face what’s real,
To find the truth that’s buried deep,
I’ve been asleep, but now I’ll wake,
And take back what’s been taken from me.
(Chorus)
This is a false reflection,
A life built on someone else’s dream,
I’m lost in this deception,
Wishing I could be who I’m meant to be.
I’ve played the role, now I’m breaking free,
From this false reflection staring back at me.
(Outro)
No more false reflection,
I’ll find the mirror that’s mine to keep,
No more pretending, no more pretending,
Now I’ll be the real me.
