Lyrics
Verse 1
She stands in front of the looking glass
And watches the morning shadows pass
She traces a line where the collarbone rests
Counts up the weight in her heavy chest
The coffee is poured, but it grows too cold
She folds up her hands and leaves it untold
Chorus
And the plate stays full as the evening fades
She walks through the quiet and sharper shades
Saving the space for a better day
When the mirror has nothing more harsh to say
Just waiting to feel like she fits the frame
Before she answers to her own name
Verse 2
She folds up the napkin, a neat little square
And moves the small pieces from here to there
A soft little smile so the table stays bright
She calls it a passing and quiet appetite
The music is playing, the conversation flows
How little the room around her knows
Chorus
And the plate stays full as the evening fades
She walks through the quiet and sharper shades
Saving the space for a better day
When the mirror has nothing more harsh to say
Just waiting to feel like she fits the frame
Before she answers to her own name
Bridge
It is not about hunger, it is not about food
It is keeping the peace in a fragile mood
Like holding your breath till the storm blows by
Or learning the art of a quiet goodbye
To the version of her that she hopes to see
When the weight of the looking glass lets her be
Outro
The light goes down on the porcelain white
She carries the quiet into the night
Just a little more time, just a little more grace
Till she feels like she's real enough for this place
