Somebody Else

The world spins faster
And the seconds are quicker
In my head
And my smile seems brighter
Than in actuality
Instead

The people who adore me
Might choose to ignore me
One day
And then I won't have the choice
To listen to what they say

People used to bully me
And I wouldn't know
How to react
And little do they know
That they've had a huge impact

Cause the girl in the mirror
Isn't me
It's somebody else
And I know it's not easy
To find the good
In myself

And I look back at the memories
And I find all the enemies are me
The self-criticism
Has finally gotten to me

Because the compliments I'm given
They do not define me
They don't
And I need to remind myself that

My friends that I have
They will not leave me
They won't

I've got people to listen
And strategies to cope
A list that I am given
And a reason to hope

I'll give this life a chance
Because it's better than before
So many new opportunities
And so many open doors

Cuz look at me now
I'm better than ever
Look at me now
I'm not somebody else

Cuz the girl in the mirror is me
Not somebody else
And I've worked through it all to find the good in myself

And I look back at the memories
And I find all the enemies are me
So that when I look at myself
It's me
Not somebody else
