Baby girl, why do you do this to yourself? Comparing your beauty to everyone else And you can't even pinpoint the source Daddy's tough love turned out to be so much more You ain't pretty enough You ain't skinny enough and every where turn These barbies are on a pedestal that you will never burn What is it gonna take? The reflection became what you hate If the way you see yourself doesn't change It's gonna hold you back and 'cause you pain Wish you could see yourself through another set of eyes Wish you could believe all you tell yourself is a lie You only let them see what you want them to see So tell me all the secrets that your eyes keep Like the mascara stains on your pillows The way your eyes are always glued to the floor What are you thinkin'? What's goin' on inside your head? These dark thoughts are what make monsters under your bed What is it gonna take? The reflection became what I hate The way I see myself needs to change Or I'ma get held back by all the pain Wish I could see myself through another set of eyes Maybe one day I'll believe all I tell myself is a lie
