Devil In The Mirror

She's always there telling me I'm not good enough
At first I thought is was just a lie
But now i realize,
Everything she says is true.
I didn't have a clue what to do.
So I just agreed with her.
After all, the Devil in the mirror is always right.

Everyday, I try to prove to her that she's wrong,
But everyday I fail.
Every time I look in the mirror,
She's there,
Smiling evilly at me.
She knows that I listen to everything she has to say.
Every time I look at the Devil in the mirror,
She's always there,
Staring back at me.

She always tells me I'm ugly, fat and stupid.
She always tells me I'm worthless.
How am I supposed to succeed in life?
When this Devil in the mirror is always telling me that
I'm never going to amount to anything

As I keep listening,
I start to wonder,
If I'm so ugly, why do I have a boyfriend?
If I'm so fat, how am I healthy?
If I'm so stupid, how do I get good grades?
The Devil in the mirror keeps putting me down,
But then I start to wonder....
If I'm so worthless, why do I have people that care?

Now I've started to realize that the Devil in the mirror is wrong.
I'm not stupid,
I'm not ugly,
I'm not fat,
And I'm certainly not worthless.
I'm going to succeed in life no matter what she says.
The Devil in the mirror will always be there,
But from this point on, I'm not going to listen to her.
Because now i know that the Devil in the mirror,
Is always wrong.
