Mirror Mirror

[Verse 1] I stand before the glass tonight And meet familiar eyes I’ve worn a hundred different faces Trying to disguise The things I never learned to say The parts I pushed aside But every time I face the glass There’s nowhere left to hide [Pre-Chorus] I ask the glass for gentler news It only gives me truth [Chorus] Mirror, mirror, tell me plain Who am I beneath this name? Not the face I learned to wear Not the answer waiting there Mirror, mirror, hold me still Show the bruise and show the will I can meet myself tonight Without turning out the light [Verse 2] I trace the years around my eyes The roads that brought me here Every line remembers something Every scar survived a year I spent so long becoming What I thought I had to be Now the stranger in the mirror Looks a little more like me [Pre-Chorus] I ask the glass to choose a side It only meets my eyes [Chorus] Mirror, mirror, tell me plain Who am I beneath this name? Not the face I learned to wear Not the answer waiting there Mirror, mirror, hold me still Show the bruise and show the will I can meet myself tonight Without turning out the light [Bridge] There’s no verdict in the silver No truth hidden in the frame Just a tired heart still beating And a face that knows my name [Final Chorus] Mirror, mirror, tell me plain I am more than what I blame Not the face I learned to wear I can leave the old one there Mirror, mirror, hold me still I am learning how to feel I can meet myself tonight And stay beside me till daylight [Outro ] I know the face I see.
