There's a new dark scowl on my face
Lines of anger that my fingers trace
Woke up this morning feelin' old
Who knew a heart be so cold?
Ooh, and I don't know what to say
I think I lost myself today
Looked in the mirror and all I could see
Was the girl I used to pretend to be
I don't wanna be afraid
Of the debts I never paid
Of the life I used to lead
And the prayer I used to need
Ooh, I used to love my life,
All the hardship and the strife
I took it all in stride
I never used to hide (away)
But now, I'm not sure who I am
Hungry wolf or a frightened lamb
I'm the not girl I wanna be
And I don't call my reflection 'me'
No, I don't wanna be afraid
Of the debts I never paid
Of the life I used to lead
And the prayer I used to need
Girl in the mirror stole my smile
Haven't seen it in quite a while.
She's trapped in pleasant mentality
Black glass never catches reality
Ooh, and I don't know what to say
Feel like I've led myself astray
I wanna bid that girl good-bye
But I'm too scared to even try
No, I don't wanna be afraid
Of the debts I never paid
Of the prayer I used to need
And the life I used to lead...
The life I used to lead
