Verse 1:
Living for others left me hollow,
A heart in pain, a soul adrift,
Chasing approval, my truth did follow,
Life felt empty, without a gift.

Pre-Chorus:
A silent ache grows,
A longing for truth.

Chorus:
I’m not a mirror, I’m unique,
Pleasing them, I lost my way.
No need for applause, just what’s real,
Living for me, finding my day.

Verse 2:
A smile that hides a heart in sorrow,
Striving for perfect, yet feeling less,
Seeking validation, lost in the borrow,
A life without meaning, a tangled mess.

Bridge:
A feeling of chains tight around me,
A fire inside that won’t be tamed,
A silent scream for truth to set free,
On the verge of change, unashamed.

Pre-Chorus:
Hope is rising now,
A strength from within.

Chorus:
I’m not a mirror, I’m unique,
Pleasing them, I lost my way.
No need for applause, just what’s real,
Living for me, finding my day.
