[Verse 1]
There's a girl in the mirror
I wonder who she is
Sometimes I think I know her
Sometimes I really wish I did
There's a story in her eyes
Lullabies and goodbyes

[Pre-Chorus]
When she's looking back at me
I can tell her heart is broken easily

[Chorus]
'Cause the girl in my mirror
Is crying out tonight
And there's nothing I can tell her
To make her feel alright
Oh, the girl in my mirror
Is crying 'cause of you
And I wish there was something
Something I could do

[Verse 2]
If I could, I would tell her
Not to be afraid
The pain that she's feeling
The sense of loneliness will fade
So dry your tears and rest assured
Love will find you like before

[Pre-Chorus]
When she's looking back at me
I know nothing really works that easily

[Chorus]
'Cause the girl in my mirror
Is crying out tonight
And there’s nothing I can tell her
To make her feel alright
Oh, the girl in my mirror
Is crying 'cause of you
And I wish there was something
I wish there was something
Oh, I wish there was something I could do

[Bridge]
I can't believe it's what I see
That the girl in the mirror
The girl in the mirror
Is me
I can't believe what I see
(That the girl in my mirror)
That the girl in the mirror
Is me
Oh, is me

[Chorus]
'Cause the girl in my mirror
Is crying out tonight
And there's nothing I can tell her
To make her feel alright
Oh, the girl in my mirror
Is crying 'cause of you
And I wish there was something
I wish there was something
Oh, I wish there was something I could do

Britney Spears

Britney Jean Spears (born December 2, 1981) is an American singer and actress. Born in McComb, Mississippi, and raised in Kentwood, Louisiana, she performed acting roles in stage productions and television shows as a child before signing with Jive Records in 1997.

Spears’s first and second studio albums, …Baby One More Time and Oops!… I Did It Again, became international successes, with the former becoming the best-selling album by a teenage solo artist. Title tracks “…Baby One More Time” and “Oops!… I Did It Again” broke international sales records, with the former reaching number one in every country it charted in. In 2001, Spears released her self-titled third studio album, Britney, and played the starring role in the film Crossroads (2002). She assumed creative control of her fourth studio album, In the Zone, which yielded the worldwide success of the single “Toxic.”

In 2007, Spears’s much-publicized personal issues sent her career into hiatus. Her fifth studio album, Blackout, was released later that year, and spawned hits such as “Gimme More” and “Piece of Me”.
