[Intro]
(Selfish Mirror Heart)
Look at my upside-down eyes
[Verse 1]
Hey, just being pretty isn’t enough to be strong
Even roses have thorns, right?
I’m not the type to say “it’s fine if I get hurt”
I crash into things and fake being a pure size
[Pre-Chorus]
Somewhere it’s frustrating, like something’s about to spill over
Please don’t, please wait — even though I want to scream it out
[Chorus]
Selfish Mirror Heart, shaking my pure feelings upside down
From you, I must look so contradictory
Even so, my Mirror Heart — a heartbeat sharper than dates
More delicate than glass mosaics, you get it, right?
Notice me
That’s why I want you to force yourself to look at all of me
Take everything in while pretending you’re totally unfazed
Deal with it all, fake smile and all, shine boy
[Verse 2]
Stop — don’t step into that line
Why can’t you follow the rules?
Being stubborn and pushing back is just instinct, you know
Covering it up like that just doubles it
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t make me say “stop peeking”
Please don’t, please wait — the impatience slowly builds
[Chorus]
Don’t see through me — this stubborn Mirror Heart
Wants to flip everything upside down
Even the truth, I want it reflected in reverse
Mischievous Mirror Heart — I’ll throw you a little kindness
But I won’t be tamed by that kind of stubbornness
You know that already
That’s how it is
[Bridge]
(Instrumental)
[Final Chorus]
Cowardly Mirror Heart, always contrary
I won’t let myself be honest
Selfish Mirror Heart, shaking my pure feelings upside down
From you, I must look so contradictory
Even so, my Mirror Heart — a heartbeat sharper than dates
More delicate than glass mosaics, you get it, right?
Notice me
That’s why I want you to force yourself to look at all of me
See through me, read me, understand me
Smile and show me like you’ve got everything under control
Take this unreasonable, lying, honest me — shine boy
