Lyrics
Verse 1:
I've been looking at my reflection
In windows as I pass
Never stopping long enough
To see beyond the glass
Just checking if I'm presentable
If everything's in place
Never really asking
Who's behind this face
Verse 2:
Today I stopped and stayed a while
Met my own two eyes
And for the first time in forever
I didn't look away or hide
There was someone there I recognized
Beneath the years of fear
Someone I'd been searching for
Who'd been standing right here
Chorus:
Through the glass
I finally see
Not the mask I've been performing
But the truth of me
Through the glass
Past all the lies
I found someone worth knowing
Looking back through my own eyes
Through the glass
Bridge:
(Vulnerable, building)
Every scar, every line
Every choice I've made
Is part of this mosaic
That will never fade
And it's beautiful somehow
This unfinished design
Through the glass I found myself
And now I know I'm fine
More than fine
Final Chorus:
Through the glass
I'm finally home
After all these years of running
I don't have to roam
Through the glass
I see it clear
Everything I was looking for
Has always been right here
Through the glass
I love who I see
Through the glass
I'm finally free
Outro:
(Whispered, peaceful)
Hello, you
I've missed you
