Elysaé - Mirrors Lyrics

My father had a mother
Who starved her body
And everybody knew
There's nothing worse than fading into air
It gave her fragile bones
Skin cold as stone
Electric chair
And brittle hair
You'd think it'd be enough to make me scared

It's like I learnt nothing from all your wounds
Except if she could do that then I could do it too
Cause I thought that I couldn't be loved
Just as I was
So tell me all your secrets
Tell me all you know

Show me
Show me
Show me who I was without her
I'm not sure I know

I thought I'd be smarter than
To swallow the pills
Empty out the last meal
But smaller's all I wanted
So I ran all the way through the hills
But now the girls are getting thinner
And the walls are getting thicker
I stare straight in the mirror
And I wish that I was fitter
I told you I was fine
When I was grappling with my dinner that night

It's like I learnt nothing from all your tears
Cause how the world sees me is the thing I fear
When it's true that I never felt loved
The way I was
They all congratulate you
For becoming a ghost

Show me
Show me
Show me who I was without her
I'm not sure I know
Show me
Show me
Show me who I was without her
Without her

I'm at the party
Feel alone
I spend more hours
Talking to my phone
Asking for permission for the things that I'm about to eat
My brain gets hijacked everyday
I see myself through a strangers gaze
Too thick
Too thin
Too loud in all the skin I'm in

It's like I learnt nothing from all your tears

Show me
Show me
Show me who I was without her
I'm not sure I know
Show me
Show me
Show me who I was without her
Without her
Without her
Without her
