Verse 1:
In a world where I wear masks,
Every day feels like a task,
You paint my life with your brush,
But I’m lost in this endless hush.
Pre-Chorus:
You say it’s love, but it feels like chains,
In the silence, only echoes remain,
I’m screaming loud, can’t you see?
This isn’t who I’m meant to be.
Chorus:
Shattered reflection, can’t you see?
I’m not the person you want me to be,
You built these walls, you raised my shame,
But I refuse to play your game.
Verse 2:
Every smile feels like a lie,
You say it’s care, yet I cry,
Pressuring me to lose my ground,
In this cage, I’m tightly bound.
Pre-Chorus:
You say it’s love, but it feels like chains,
In the silence, only echoes remain,
I’m screaming loud, can’t you see?
This isn’t who I’m meant to be.
Chorus:
Shattered reflection, can’t you see?
I’m not the person you want me to be,
You built these walls, you raised my shame,
But I refuse to play your game.
Bridge:
I’ll find the strength to break away,
I’ll embrace the light of a brand new day,
No more guilt, no more fear,
It’s time for me to reappear.
Chorus:
Shattered reflection, can’t you see?
I’m not the person you want me to be,
You built these walls, you raised my shame,
But I refuse to play your game.
Outro:
This shattered mirror shows the truth,
It’s time to reclaim my youth,
No more struggling to conform,
I’ll rise unbroken, I’ll be reborn.

I’m in a relationship where I am being forced to be someone I am not. I am made to feel guilty for this
