Disclaimer: I don't own Mulan
Why couldn't I just be a normal girl?
I just wanted to be the perfect bride
The perfect daughter
But I just didn't feel like
I was meant to play that part
I wasn't even meant to play the part of a girl
The person I saw in the mirror was a stranger
But if I were ever really myself
The person, neither man nor woman,
The person I was inside
I would break my family's heart
But that girl in the mirror
That's just not me
What is she doing in the mirror,
Staring at me?
She's a stranger
My reflection is someone
I don't even know
That's not me
Why?
This person I am inside
I can't hide them - not her, them -
And I just want my reflection to show
Who I really am
I'm never going to be the perfect bride
Never the perfect daughter
This body does not feel like me
Why doesn't my reflection show
Who I am inside?
