This song is about how outward appearances can be truly deceiving. Only you can know who you truly are. Most of us, myself especially, try to conform to what other people want and by doing that, we lose a little piece of ourselves. I've actually spent so many years trying to be what everyone else wanted that I've forgotten who I was in the first place. I still hang on to the hope that someday I will remember.
Look at me You may think you see who I really am But you'll never know me Ev'ry day It's as if I play a part Now I see If I wear a mask I can fool the world But I cannot fool my heart Who is that girl I see Staring straight back at me? When will my reflection show Who I am inside? I am now In a world where I have to hide my heart And what I believe in But somehow I will show the world What's inside my heart And be loved for who I am Who is that girl I see Staring straight back at me? Why is my reflection someone I don't know? Must I pretend that I'm Someone else for all time? When will my reflection show Who I am inside? There's a heart that must be free to fly That burns with a need to know the reason why Why must we all conceal What we think How we feel Must there be a secret me I'm forced to hide? I won't pretend that I'm Someone else For all time When will my reflection show Who I am inside? When will my reflection show Who I am inside?
