Mirror mirror on the wall
You love reminding me
How I don’t look like all the celebrities
On the big screens, in the magazines, in my social feeds
Yeah, I heard ya the first time
Mirror mirror on the wall
We’ve been arguing here long as I can recall
I could be taller and stronger
The cracks in my face are growing much longer
Yeah, I heard ya the first time
I’ll say it once
I’ll say it twice
I’ll say it a thousand times
I’m beautiful
Though you can’t see it
Though you don't believe it
I’ll say it a thousand times
I’m beautiful
And one day you’ll see
You’re gonna say it back to me
Mirror mirror on the wall
Let’s face it, we’re together for the long haul
So we might as well be friends
Might as well make amends
Look past my face, through my eyes, deeper still
It never ends
Yeah, you're gonna see it sometime
I’ll say it once
I’ll say it twice
I’ll say it a thousand times
I’m beautiful
Though you can’t see it
Though you don't believe it
I’m gonna say it a thousand times
I’m beautiful
And one day you’ll see
You’re gonna say it back to me
