Elli Saye – The Girl in the Mirror (Official Audio)

The Girl in the Mirror — Elli Saye Lyrics by Anita Chang It's after midnight, I'm still wide awake, another quiet ending to the day. I pour a glass from a bottle saved for years, and leave half of it untouched beside my chair. I turn the lights off in the living room, and watch the window turn into a mirror. The city keeps on moving twenty floors below, while my reflection settles over all the lights. Who is that girl in the mirror? Where's the girl I used to know? I got everything she wished for long ago, How did we ever grow so cold? When did her eyes stop getting brighter? When did everything get old? I became the woman she was dreaming of, But where did that young girl go? The more you learn, the more you learn to shut up, not every thought needs somewhere to be heard. I used to think I had to prove my worth, now I don't need to have the final word. I used to leave my heart wide open for them, I never thought they'd use it back on me. I couldn't tell you when she started changing, I only know she doesn't sound like me. Who is that girl in the mirror? Where's the girl I used to know? I got everything she wished for long ago, How did we ever grow so cold? When did her eyes stop getting brighter? When did everything get old? I became the woman she was dreaming of, But where did that young girl go? Maybe I can't be the way she was then, before she learned how quickly things can change. But standing here with nothing but my reflection, I wonder if she's looking back the same. Who is that girl in the mirror? Where's the girl I used to know? I got everything she wished for long ago, How did we ever grow so cold? Maybe her eyes don't shine the same way, maybe everything gets old. I became the woman she was dreaming of, I never knew becoming came with loss. © 2026 Elli Saye. All rights reserved.
