Imperfect Reflection

slow down
deep breaths
you're moving too fast,
got your foot stuck on the gas
you're trapped in
a stained glass cage
one wrong move,
and you'll be covered in glass

and I'm feeling
you building walls
all around
and you know that
you're bound to fall
if you keep gracing the edge

i know cause i've been to where you are
where you are

you used to care but now you're just worried
so you start living life in a hurry
rushin ahead to pass by the mirror
hopin someday you'll see yourself clearer
why don't you tamper with your perfection
and learn to love your imperfect reflection

what you eat
comes right out your mouth
so tell me
what is that all about
it's saddening to come to this
but you insist
on a quick fix

from softening
to maddening
it's one extreme to the next
and your defense
is that you
ain't hurting no one
but yourself.

but when you're down you're not alone
not alone

you used to care but now you're just worried
so you start living life in a hurry
rushin ahead to pass by the mirror
hopin someday you'll see yourself clearer
why don't you tamper with your perfection
and learn to love your imperfect reflection

let go
let go
let go
let go
you're beautiful
you're beautiful
you're beautiful just the way you are
you are.
