#VERSE
Who told you
That you were bad
Who told you
That you’ve failed
Who gaslights you
With hurtful lies
Saying
“Your ship has sailed”
Who lifts a candle
To your face
And points out
Every blemish there
Who burns your dreams
Like paper ships
Tells you the truth
That you won’t dare
#PRE-CHORUS
Ah! The answer stands to greet you
Your loyal friend is quick to cheat you
#CHORUS
I am the mirror
Broken shards of glass
Reflecting your mistakes
Showing how much time has passed
Don’t look too long
Don’t get any nearer
I am the
I am the
I am the mirror
I am
I am the mirror
#VERSE
Remove your mask
Wash off the make up
Chant hurtful words
Under your breath
Curse your boss
Curse your bad break up
Curse life itself
From now till death
#PRE-CHORUS
Oh! That logic seems wicked and cruel
Why did you linger on my warped view?
#CHORUS
I am the mirror
Crusher of dreams
The bully of your bathroom wall
Distorting all your self-esteem
Don’t look too long
Don’t get any nearer
I am the
I am the
I am the mirror
I am
I am the mirror
#BRIDGE
I could be nice
And say you’re pretty
But life’s not Snow White
What a pity
Life’s a garden
Where all flowers die
And all who reflect too long
Will cry
#INSTRUMENTAL
#VERSE
Please no violence
Drop the hammer
There’s no need to be
Mad at me
Seven years bad luck
So, mind your manners
I promise I’ll lie
Show what you want to see
#CHORUS
I am the mirror
So, flash your best smile
Inspect your whole outfit
Yes, yes, you’re in style
I’ll say what you want
If you’ll just step nearer
I am the
I am the
#CHORUS
I am the mirror
You’re caught in my grip
We’re handcuffed together
Throughout life’s whole trip
I’ll suck out your soul
Don’t get any nearer
I am the
I am the
I am the mirror
I am
I am the mirror
