You pour yourself a cup of coffee
after one more sleepless night
It's just a minor inconvenience
in your unexamined life
but it all becomes so clear
when you look into the mirror
You've been lost and alone for so long
you've forgotten how to love
still you cry when your remedies fail you
there's never quite enough
to take away the fear
that you see there in the mirror
The years go by like passing cars
on a busy city street
the only time you're ever still
is before the light turns red to green
then it all just disappears
as you look back in the mirror
You've been lost and alone for so long
you've forgotten how to love
still you cry when your remedies fail you
there's never quite enough
to take away the fear
that you see there in the mirror.
