[Verse 1]

I want you to know A “Mirrorball”- someone who is

I'm a mirrorball
I'll show you every version of yourself tonight
I'll get you out on the floor
Shimmering beautiful
And when I break, it's in a million pieces
B broken into millions of pieces,
C (1-6) but that is what makes them
D so beautiful.
E They reflect other people,
F meaning they try to fit in.

[Chorus]
Hush, when no one is around, my dear
You'll find me on my tallest tiptoes
Spinning in my highest heels, love
Shining just for you
Hush, I know they said the end is near
But I'm still on my tallest tiptoes
Spinning in my highest heels, love
Shining just for you
G This shows that she feels
H comfortable showing her real
I self, when she is alone.
J (2-8) She doesn’t feel like she needs
G to be someone else when no
H one is around. “Shining just
I
J

[Verse 2]
I want you to know A Even though mirrorballs look
I'm a mirrorball B perfect because of the way the
I can change everything about me to fit in K (3-6) lights hit them just right, they
You are not like the regulars L are not. They have been
The masquerade revelers M dropped a few times,
Drunk as they watch my shattered edges glisten N

[Chorus]
Hush, when no one is around, my dear G
You'll find me on my tallest tiptoes H
Spinning in my highest heels, love I
Shining just for you J (4-8)
Hush, I know they said the end is near G
But I'm still on my tallest tiptoes H
Spinning in my highest heels, love I
Shining just for you J

[Bridge]
And they called off the circus, burned the disco down O
When they sent home the horses and the rodeo clowns O
I'm still on that tightrope P
I'm still trying everything to get you laughing at me Q (5-8)
And I'm still a believer, but I don't know why R
I've never been a natural, all I do is try, try, try R
I'm still on that trapeze S
I'm still trying everything to keep you looking at me Q

[Outro]
Because I'm a mirrorball B
I'm a mirrorball B (6-3)
And I'll show you every version of yourself tonight C

Verse 1- 6 lines, singer compares herself to a mirrorball; sets the tone for the rest of the song
Chorus- 8 lines, repeats several times; uses a metaphor to show how people change based off of surroundings
Verse 2- 6 lines, singer describes how she changes (reflects others like a mirrorball)
Chorus- 8 lines, repeated from before
Bridge- 8 lines, moment of vulnerability, singer reflects on the nature of her emotions to adapt to what others need
Outro- 3 lines, repeats the idea of a mirrorball; shows it connection is special and worth it

A mirrorball is made to look perfect from afar because it is so sparkly and the light is hitting it just right,
it is not. It’s been dropped a few times, scratches are on it, and some edges are shattered. It is an imperfect
thing, but despite all this, it looks beautiful under the lights and production. This symbolizes all the
pressure the singer goes through, to look perfect, since it isn’t real.
