Love Is a Mirror

I'll show you mine
If you show me yours
I'll show you my true self
And take off the ornaments

I hope that you like it
It's all that I have
It's part of a package
The good and the bad

And the weird and the strange
The happy and the funny
And the hard to explain
And the I wish it weren't that way

The things that I try
To pretend don't exist
'Cause I can't stand to see me
For what it really is

Love is a mirror
And mirrors are ugly
But I wanna know
What you really think of me yeah

Love is a mirror
But also the reason
You'd make yourself better
The sun and the seasons

'Cause it takes a lot
To wanna change for yourself
But to change for another
Can feel pretty natural

When you can be sure
That they want what is best for you
Knowing their love is for
All of the rest of you

The push and the pull
The give and the take
And I'm actually sorry
To make a mistake

Because I can't be happy
While I know that you're sad
And just having you near me
Is all I'd ever ask

When you first fall in love
With the thought of a person
It's easy to sometimes
Become disappointed

When they shed that first form
And you see them for what they really are
And it's not like you thought

But the truth of your essence
Of soul and of spirit
Is so far beyond
What I could have conceived of

We're falling in love
Really over and over
As we change who we are
I keep getting to know you

Love is a mirror
And mirrors are ugly
But I wanna know
What you really think of me yeah

Love is a mirror
And mirrors are painful so
Show me what's wrong and then
Watch as I change for you

Love is a mirror and
Mirrors are honest
So tell me the truth
You can tell me what's wrong with me
Love is a mirror

But also the reason
I'll make myself better
The question, the answer
The sun, and the seasons
Are you
