Mirror Be Gentle (Mental Health)

[Verse 1] Morning light across the glass I catch my face as I walk past And the old words start to rise Every flaw I criticise [Pre-Chorus] But today I'll take a breath And speak to me with tenderness [Chorus] Mirror, be gentle with me Show me the one my friends can see Not the shadows, not the lines Just a heart that's doing fine Mirror, be gentle, let me be Kind to the face looking back at me [Verse 2] These are the eyes that cried and healed These are the hands that worked the field This is the smile my mother gave This is the body that stayed brave [Pre-Chorus] So today I'll take a breath And speak to me with tenderness [Chorus] Mirror, be gentle with me Show me the one my friends can see Not the shadows, not the lines Just a heart that's doing fine Mirror, be gentle, let me be Kind to the face looking back at me [Bridge] I don't need to be a picture on a page I'm a story still unfolding, every age And if I stumble on the old unkind refrain I'll start again, I'll start again [Final Chorus] Mirror, be gentle with me I'm learning to see what love can see Every freckle, every scar Tells the road of who we are Mirror, be gentle, let me be Kind to the face looking back at me [Outro] Kind to the face Looking back at me
