Who I am

Who I am is a mystery to me
Who I am is who I long to be

I have tried to be who you wanted
I have tried to be who you expect
I have been what I’ve been told to be
But who I am is who I long to be

I have dressed to impress
Though it’s not quite my style
I’ve styled my hair and painted my face
And forced myself to wear a smile

I labored to love what I cannot have
I dreamed a dream never to come true
I’ve become a stranger in the mirror
Because I’ve been in love with you

I’ve broken my heart
I’ve shattered my dreams
I may not know who I am
But who I am is who I long to be

I think you know exactly who you are, just need to wipe away the steam from that mirror.

Here:

I’ve become a stranger in the mirror
Because I’ve been in love with you
