The reflections of you

You hold up the glass, but you never see Every flaw you find, you project onto me Call me broken, call me lost, yet you're the one Frozen in the frost You ignore my climb, the battles I've won, blinded By fear of what I've become You stand in shadows, refuse to change, yet judge My fire for burning untamed The reflections of you, cast onto me, twisting my light Into what you believe But I won't break, I won't fade away, I'll rise above While you decay The reflections of you, they are not my own I walk my path, I stand alone Every effort I make, you turn away, yet still, I fight I will not obey You see my steps, but not my scars, blind to the battles I've fought in the dark You remain stagnant, chained to the past, fearing The future, clinging too fast But I walk forward, I tear through the lies While you stay behind, afraid to rise The reflections of you, cast onto me, twisting my light Into what you believe But I won't break, I won't fade away, I'll rise above While you decay The reflections of you, they are not my own I walk my path, I stand alone The reflections of you, cast onto me, twisting my light Into what you believe But I won't break, I won't fade away, I'll rise above While you decay The reflections of you, they are not my own I walk my path, I stand alone I see the chains you wrap so tight, the fear in your eyes When I take flight You don't hate me-you fear the truth, that I'm not The failure you assumed I won't drown in your misery, I know my worth, I choose To be free Your reflection is not my fate, I shatter the glass-I Rewrite my fate! The reflections of you, cast onto me, twisting my light Into what you believe But I won't break, I won't fade away, I'll rise above While you decay The reflections of you, they are not my own, I walk My path, I stand alone So, hold your mirror, keep your chains, stay in the dark Trapped in the same But I move forward, my fire burns true For I am not the reflections of you The reflections of you, they are not my own, I walk My path, I stand alone I see the reflections of you, cast onto me, twisting my light Into what you believe But I won't break, I won't fade away, I'll rise above While you decay The reflections of you, they are not my own, I walk My path, I stand alone.
