Reflection Lyrics - American Idol

Look at me you may think you see 

Who I really am but you'll never know me 

Every day it's as if I play a part 

Now I see if I wear a mask 

I can fool the world but I cannot fool my heart 

Who is that girl I see staring straight back at me? 

When will my reflection show who I am inside? 

I am now in a world where I 

Have to hide my heart and what I believe in 

But somehow I will show the world 

What's inside my heart and be loved for who I am 

Who is that girl I see staring straight back at me? 

Why is my reflection someone I don't know? 

Must I pretend that I'm someone else for all time? 

When will my reflection show who I am inside? 

There's a heart that must be free to fly 

That burns with a need to know the reason why 

Why must we all conceal what we think and how we feel? 

Must there be a secret me I'm forced to hide? 

I won't pretend that I'm someone else for all time 

When will my reflection show who I am inside? 

When will my reflection show who I am inside?
