It's becoming an obsession,
Every morning as I wake.
That I look into the mirror,
To see if I am there...
to see if I am there.
When I'm driving down the highway,
It will take me by surprise.
'Cause I look into the mirror,
And I am startled by my eyes.
My eyes reflect a different soul,
My body doesn't show.
I wish that I could be myself,
The one nobody knows.
I am living with obsession,
To be the one I really am.
And I look into the mirror,
To see if I am there...
To see if I am there.
Can you see me now as I do?
Not the me you used to know.
If you cannot see me hurting,
Then I think it's time to go.
My eyes reflect a different soul,
My body doesn't show.
I wish that I could be myself,
The one nobody knows...
The one nobody knows.
