Mirror Extra

[Verse 1]
[M]
I keep showing up late
To my own damn life
Like I’m the extra guy
In my own highlight
Everybody got a story
Mine got cut short
They look at my face
And they close the door

[M]
Say I’m all my mistakes
Like that’s all I am
One bad chapter, one bad year
And they wrote me off again
But I’m still here, still breathing
Still tryna be better
I got scars on my name
But I’m not what they remember

[Pre-Chorus]
[F]
I know the mirror lies
When it says I’m done
I know the hurt gets loud
When the day goes numb
If you look a little closer
There’s a fire in me
I’m not who I was
I’m who I’m tryna be

[Chorus]
[BOTH]
Look at me now
Look at me now
I’m still standing here

[BOTH]
Look at me now
Look at me now
I’m more than what you fear

[BOTH]
You see the past
I see the change
I’m not a ghost
I’ve got a name
Look at me now
Look at me now
I’m still standing here

[Verse 2]
[M]
Yeah, I know I let folks down
Made some messes for real
I wore that shame so long
It became how I feel
But I’m done letting old days
Write the ending for me
I’m learning how to live
With the kid they won’t see

[M]
They call me ugly outside
Like that’s the whole truth
They don’t know the heart
I been keeping from view
Never got the chance
To prove I could love right
Never got the chance
To prove I could shine bright

[Pre-Chorus]
[F]
I know the mirror lies
When it says I’m done
I know the hurt gets loud
When the day goes numb
If you look a little closer
There’s a fire in me
I’m not who I was
I’m who I’m tryna be

[Bridge]
[F]
So if you hear me shake
Don’t count me out

[M]
I’m still learning how
To turn it around

[F]
I’m not a lost cause

[M]
I’m not my old scars

[BOTH]
I’m still here
I’m still here

[Final Chorus]
[BOTH]
Look at me now
Look at me now
I’m still standing here

[BOTH]
Look at me now
Look at me now
I’m more than what you fear

[BOTH]
You see the past
I see the change
I’m not a ghost
I’ve got a name
Look at me now
Look at me now
I’m still standing here
