This feeling of emptiness, when I am alone
I watch it disappear when I see me on my phone
Poses, duck faces, and birds of a feather
Plus ten thousand filters, so I can make myself better
So I get dressed up for pictures in front of things I don't own
Just for comments from people I wouldn't let in my home
And I'm building a business, so I ain't concerned
About the message I'm sending, or how the profit is earned
I said I'm building a business, when I go viral you'll learn
People blow up every day, so today is my turn
Hey, mirror on the wall
Tell me who's fairest of them all
Youth can't say, but wisdom knows
It ain't what's on your face, but what's in your soul (Hey, yeah)
Tell me what you have to prove here (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I really don't think you have anything to prove here (Yeah)
'Cause I'm your reflection, so it's time that you' heard
That you' teaching strange lessons, that some people gon' learn
Now that I have your attention, let's make sure that we're clear
Objects in these mirrors, are further than they appear
Hey, mirror on the wall
Tell me who's fairest of them all
Getting numbers up, tryna' fill that well
No one says slow down, when you just need some help
Now they're in your yard, so the love is felt
But who gon' cut that grass, when that milkshake melts?
(And their likes are better than yours)
When them same old tricks, ain't flying off the shelf
And the funhouse finds another look to sell
When the lights go down, and you're all by yourself
Know you're worth more than the stories that you tell
Hey, mirror on the wall
Tell me who's fairest of them all
Youth can't say, but wisdom knows
It ain't what's on your face, but what's in your soul (Hey, yeah)
Thought you should, know that know that know that
Know that know that know that
Know that know that know that, know that
