Lipstick on the Mirror, Not Your Name

I was a shadow in your rearview light

Hand on my heart, I was losing the fight

All those promises turned into smoke

I wore your silence like a heavy coat

But the mirror caught me standing tall

I heard my own name, I heard the call

No more waiting for a broken start

I can find my way out of the dark

Follow from the press of my skin tonight

Burning your ghost in the city lights

Oh, taking my hour back

Watch me rise, I choose my scope

And I'm done with lies

No more empty

No more pretend

I am my own beginning again

Cruise through the midnight windows down

Left your almost love on the edge of town

Every hurt you gave me turned to gold

Now I'm stronger than the story you sold

And the chorus hits like a second wind

I feel the pulse of the life within

Every scar is a battle won

I'm not the girl you were trying under

I'm ripping the past off the skin tonight

Burn a new ghost in the city lights

I'm taking my power back, watch me rise

I choose my move and I'm done with lies

No more empty

More, more pretend

I am my own beginning

Let the night roll on, let it wash me clean

I'm not who I was in your old routine

I've got a fire that you couldn't tame

Say my goodbye like a victory flame

I'm wiping the past off my skin to lime

Turning our pain into neon light

I'm taking my powers back

Watch me rise, I choose myself

And I'm done with lies

No more empty

More, more pretense

I am my own beginning, I

I am my own beginning,
