Mirror

I saw your face in the mirror
It looked a lot like mine
How did you get so much clearer than me
Now I can't even see my own eyes

Oh, can I tell you a story
Of when we both were kids
You said you don't have time for that now
No, you don't care how we used to live

Well, don't you wanna be remembered?
Don't you wanna take your time?
Don't you wanna let me hold you tell you
It'll be alright?

Oh, I will be remembered
If I don't waste my time
On what you wanna teach me
I know I will be alright

I know it hasn't been easy
I know we both hate goodbyes
Well don't leave me yet
I'm still here in your bed
When you cry, when you cry, when you cry

I watched you as you grew older
You wondered if I was real
You pushed me away and now you're killing yourself
Just to feel, just to feel, just to feel

Oh, don't you see the beauty
In letting someone know
What I still mean to you
I will never let you go

Oh, I feel the terror
No one will ever know
What you used to mean to me
I've gotta let you go

Hey, where are you going?
Don't turn your back on me
If you leave me in the darkness
How will you ever see?

Oh, you're starting to sound angry
Now do you understand
You're afraid of being lonely
And so I have the upperhand

Oh, take me to the river, and we'll stand on either side
And if you want to slay me, you'll have to look me in the eyes
I thought that you'd defeat me when we saw somebody die
Now I can't see the future, but I still see you in the skies

Oh, look me in the mirror I will make you cry
Throw me in the river, and I will never die
I am getting clearer, I will help you rise
Reach two hands out of the water, and both look smaller in the light
