Mirror Mirror

Hey Instagram
I think someone hacked my account
A girl I don't recognize stares back at me
She's such a scam
Too perfect and liked to be true
I guess that we project what we wanna be

And something tells me
She's been working her way in for a while now
A mindset manufactured from "thirteen"

When I look in the mirror,
All I hear is 'why can't you be her?'
Exactly like you, but just better
With twice the appeal
And I wish we could swap places,
No longer be the one who chases
A me I'll never be able to reach
'Cause she isn't real

We all adhere
To constructing false little worlds
Escape reality in which we're confined
And soon enough
Our expectations readjust
'Till our perception of truth is misaligned

Hey 'insert here'
I think you've hacked into my mind
'Cause all I see is what's wrong with me
Insecurity that I never used to find

When I look in the mirror
All I see is where I'm not like her
Prettier, richer or wittier
What I cannot be
And I wish we could swap places
I'm sick of being the one who chases
Someone else
When will I be content with the real me?
