Mirror

You're looking in the mirror
Tears streaming down your face
I've fought with every ounce of strength
To take you from this place
But my words provide no comfort
And my actions seem to fail
When the only thing that matters
Is the number on the scale

I tell you that you're beautiful
The way you are today
But your eyes betray the truth
You don't believe a word I say
So I hate this stupid mirror
And it's twisted wicked lies
But I will keep on fighting
Til you see things through my eyes
