A few hours back I was a happy girl, so sure of myself.
I met this guy, exchanged numbers and in two days he
proposed loved to me
He looked so genuine & sincere with his puppy brown eyes
Little did I expect this from him
Now, I see this girl in the mirror, I see this ravaged girl
Dark tear stained koel dripping eyes, messed up hair,
violated body
A date, some love, some friends is what I asked for
A party, my boyfriends, his friends and a spiked drink is
what I got
I remember the drink, I remember music & I woke up on someone
else bed raped, bruised & devastated
Mirror, Mirror on the wall, please reverse them all
Dear Mirror, Mirror on the wall, show the girl I saw before
the dreaded call
