Reflection (2020) Lyrics
Look at me
You may think you see
Who I really am
But you'll never know me
Every day
It's as if I play a part
Now I see
If I wear a mask
I can fool the world
But I cannot fool my heart
[Chorus]
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
[Verse 2]
I am now
In a world where I
Have to hide my heart
And what I believe in
But somehow
I will show the world
What's inside my heart
And be loved for who I am, woah
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
Why is my reflection
Someone I don't know?
Must I pretend that I am
Someone else for all time?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
[Bridge]
There's a heart that must be free to fly
That burns with a need to know the reason why
[Chorus]
Why must we all conceal
What we think and how we feel?
Must there be a secret me
I'm forced to hide?
I won't pretend that I'm
Someone else for all time
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
[Outro]
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?

On this track, Aguilera once again showcases her powerhouse vocals as she reimagines the classic song as a moving ballad.
