Nervous Affection
Looking in the mirror, what do I see?
A face, some say cringe, too ugly for me
But expressing this fear just wouldn't be free
'Cause how I see me, is how they'll see
Half-loved, half-seen, in this self-made sea
The reflection's harsh, but it's part of me
Yet, in this world, somehow, I found a key
Pretty girls, smart friends, in my company
But the mirror whispers fears, in a silent plea
What I have might be more than what I'll ever be
Will it all fade away, if I step back, flee?
This self-consciousness, a shadow over me
But the mirror whispers fears, in a silent plea
What I have might be more than what I'll ever be
Will it all fade away, if I step back, flee?
This self-consciousness, a shadow over me
Society's words, a dichotomy
One side screams 'ugly', the other disagrees
These words, like a virus, constantly decree
Nervousness towers, even in dreams, I see
An outlier in my own world's spree
Too major, too minor, just can't break free
In this societal mirror, whom can I be?
Caught between worlds, just trying to see
But the mirror whispers fears, in a silent plea
What I have might be more than what I'll ever be
Will it all fade away, if I step back, flee?
This self-consciousness, a shadow over me
But the mirror whispers fears, in a silent plea
What I have might be more than what I'll ever be
Will it all fade away, if I step back, flee?
This self-consciousness, a shadow over me
Wishing the man in the mirror could find peace
He has shed his skin, oh go find a new lease
But until then, I'll love him, oh, piece by piece
In this reflection, searching for release
I hope my loved ones don't view me through this lens
See past the fear, the doubts that it sends
For in their eyes, I hope to find amends
And in their love, the strength to transcend
But the mirror whispers fears, in a silent plea
What I have might be more than what I'll ever be
Will it all fade away, if I step back, flee?
This self-consciousness, a shadow over me
But the mirror whispers fears, in a silent plea
What I have might be more than what I'll ever be
Will it all fade away, if I step back, flee?
This self-consciousness, a shadow over me
A face, some say cringe, too ugly for me
But expressing this fear just wouldn't be free
'Cause how I see me, is how they'll see
Half-loved, half-seen, in this self-made sea
The reflection's harsh, but it's part of me
Yet, in this world, somehow, I found a key
Pretty girls, smart friends, in my company
But the mirror whispers fears, in a silent plea
What I have might be more than what I'll ever be
Will it all fade away, if I step back, flee?
This self-consciousness, a shadow over me
But the mirror whispers fears, in a silent plea
What I have might be more than what I'll ever be
Will it all fade away, if I step back, flee?
This self-consciousness, a shadow over me
Society's words, a dichotomy
One side screams 'ugly', the other disagrees
These words, like a virus, constantly decree
Nervousness towers, even in dreams, I see
An outlier in my own world's spree
Too major, too minor, just can't break free
In this societal mirror, whom can I be?
Caught between worlds, just trying to see
But the mirror whispers fears, in a silent plea
What I have might be more than what I'll ever be
Will it all fade away, if I step back, flee?
This self-consciousness, a shadow over me
But the mirror whispers fears, in a silent plea
What I have might be more than what I'll ever be
Will it all fade away, if I step back, flee?
This self-consciousness, a shadow over me
Wishing the man in the mirror could find peace

Will it all fade away, if I step back, flee?
This self-consciousness, a shadow over me
But the mirror whispers fears, in a silent plea
What I have might be more than what I'll ever be
Will it all fade away, if I step back, flee?
This self-consciousness, a shadow over me
