lyrics

I know you, I've seen you before
But I don't recognise you this time
When I look deep inside, finally I can recognise
That the face that's looking back at me is mine

Insecurity can't always be seen with your eyes
Sometimes it wears a disguise
when you're on your own, your mind's not safe inside your home
Sometimes you just have to go outside

Cause my own reflection was always mine
And it's something I don't recognise
And slip away the masquerade
And you'll be safe from something that's unknown and outgrown

Confused and broken into two
But what else could you do
Yes, I've made mistakes, we've done some things we can't erase
But now I've had the time to think, to change and that's a benefit

Cause my own reflection was always mine
But it's something I don't recognise
And slip away the masquerade
And you'll be safe from something that's unknown and outgrown

So many colours in the rainbow
But all I can see is black and grey
Man, it hurts to self-reflect, though
But sometimes change can come from pain
