i am who i am, or am i

Your reflection in the mirror 
Is not an image of yourself 
Your reflection in the mirror 
Is a glimpse of someone else 
The you from years in the past 
The pretty face that just couldn't last 

But now you're better 
To us you're flawless 
We stare in awe 
At your beauty 

Behind a disguise 
I know you're crying 
The flashing lights hide 
The fact you're dying 

You're so trapped 
In a world of lies 
Now face the facts 
You're trying to hide 

Some know the truth 
Others just deny 
That their dream life 
Is nothing but a lie
