Lyrics

I see the lines, the shadows, the scars I hide
A thousand things I’d change, if I could rewind
But there’s a fire behind these eyes you’ll never steal
This reflection of me… is finally real

They told me beauty fades like flowers in the rain
But I have grown through every tear and every pain
And now I wear my stories like a crown of grace
Not just a pretty smile on a perfect face

I am more than what you see
More than mirrors, more than shame
Every crack inside this glass
Holds a woman forged by flame
Don’t need fixing, don’t need youth
I am power, I am truth
I won’t chase what I can’t be
I am whole—this reflection of me

Magazines and silver screens, they drew the line
Told me how to shrink, to fade, to fit the lie
But I am not a whisper made to disappear
I am thunder wrapped in velvet, standing here

Let them say I’m not enough or past my prime
I’ve bloomed in every season, every time
The girl they tried to mold, she’s breaking free
And rising in the mirror, finally… I see

I am more than what you see
More than mirrors, more than shame
Every crack inside this glass
Holds a woman forged by flame
Don’t need fixing, don’t need youth
I am power, I am truth
I won’t chase what I can’t be
I am whole—this reflection of me

I laugh louder now, I cry without fear
I hold my own hand, I’m finally near
To the woman I dreamt, the one I believe—
Was never lost, just waiting… inside of me
