I look into the mirror
And the person that I see
Is not who I want to be
I look into the mirror
And the person that I see
Is not a reflection of me

I tried hiding and tried pretending
That nothing has gone wrong
I tried hiding and tried pretending
That you havent left me
Broken all along

Chorus
Who am I?
Who am I?
Is this who Im supposed to be?
Who am I?
Who am I?
Am I the one that you want me to be
Who am I?

Cause Im not the person
That I used to be
Im not the person
I wish you could see in me
Im not the person
My heart calls me out to be

Chorus 2x

How should I make myself out to be
Does it matter
What others think of me
Does it matter
If im not who you want me to be

Chorus

Am I who I was called to be?

Me and my bff had a conversation about how we have changed and how we wish we knew who we are. Honestly I think every teen can relate to this song because we start wanting to fit in and wanting to belong in a certain group and in the process we lose who we are

&quot;Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living. The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in the mirror which waits always before or behind.&quot;
