What happened to that girl?
The one I use to see.
What happened to that girl?
The one staring back at me.
I wonder if she knows,
How hard life can be.
No one could foresee,
The pain behind the mock glee.
What happened to that girl?
The one I thought was me.

Sometimes looking into the mirror, I don't recognize the person looking back.
