Burn Reflection
Track 33 of Mirror Season
[ Lyrics ]
I let the old me crack — I let the old me crack. Used to wear your silence like a second skin, smile in the mirror just to let you in. I bent my truth to fit your frame, whispered loyalty through a quiet shame. Every 'I’m fine' was a lie I dressed, for the ghost version of me you barely blessed. Now the glass is trembling, the image’s weak — one more breath, and the illusion’s gone. No more rehearsals, no more script, I won’t perform the love you clipped. No softening edges, no hiding the scar — I break the mirror, not my heart. I let the old me crack — yeah, I let her crack. Watch her fall in a thousand parts, no turning back. I lit the match, watched the version fade that begged for light in the shade you made. I let the old me crack — That girl who waited by the phone all night? Gave her reflection to the firelight. The one who twisted every red flag down? Now she’s ash in the morning wind, unbound. I don’t miss her compromises, her quiet voice when she’d apologize. She loved too loud, then apologized for sound — not anymore — I stand my ground. No more permission, no more fear, I speak my pain like it belongs here. This skin’s my own, this voice, this spark — I’m not fixing what I tore apart. Shatter the glass — let the pieces tell the story of a girl no longer bound to hell. Every fracture shows a truth I denied — the day I stopped shrinking? I stopped lying. I let the old me crack — yes, I let her crack. Watch her fall in a thousand parts, no turning back. I lit the match, watched the version fade that lived for love in the mess you made. Orchestral hit → I let the old me crack… Gone.
