Lyrics:

Faced myself in the mirror last night

I looked for things you said you liked

The person I am when no one's around

The girl I don't want to be found

Don't you ever wanna change?

Don't you ever wanna change?

Talked myself outta being me

Didn't wanna fight my own worst enemy

Wipe me out, did it all from view

Destroyed myself, became more like you

No one's very real today

No one's very real today

All I have to give this world is me, and that's it

All I have to show this world is me, and that's it

Just me, just me, just me

And that's it

Convinced myself not to be so strange

I hope I still take your breath away

I look in the mirror, I see the face

The one who worries, it can change

You don't have to change, you don't have to change

You don't have to change

All I have to give this world is me, and that's it

All I have to show this world is me, and that's it

Just me, just me, just me

And that's it

Staring down my two halves in the glass

Feels like a heart attack

Telling me to choose one or the other

I get so panicked

I don't wanna lose, but if I choose love

What will happen then?

Staring down my two halves in the glass

What then?

Go ahead and choose, go ahead and choose

Go ahead and choose

All I have to give this world is me, and that's it

All I have to show this world is me, and that's it

I don't wanna lose, but if I choose love

What will happen then?

Staring down my two halves in the glass

What then?
