"Mirrors" lyrics

"Mirrors"

I watch my grandma trace her jaw and pull back on her face
I always did the things she did but I was only eight
Is that what it takes to be beautiful
Don't know what it takes but she's beautiful

I always faced it head on but when I turned to the side
Saw why my favorite size two Levi's didn't fit me right
At thirteen, can't wait to be beautiful
Do I have what it takes to be beautiful

I'm just looking back at all the faces looking back
At me

Rear views show off my blue eyes but they're stuck in the past
Dim lit neon bathroom hues
They all make me look sad
And sometimes I turn the heat up on the water
Just to fog up all the glass
Hmmm
And sometimes I see my mother
Oh and I love the woman looking back
Hmmm

I'm just looking back at all the faces looking back (Back)
I'm just looking back at all the faces looking back (Back)
At me

I watch my fingers trace my jaw and pull back on my face
I laughed and let it go and watched it fall back into place
I know what it takes to be beautiful
I have what it takes to be beautiful

I'm just looking back at all the faces looking back
Oh I'm just looking back at all the faces looking back
At me
