Man In the Mirror

Looking into the mirror, what is it that I see? i'm not sure whats really there, but I know its not me. Backing away from the glass, I see its far from blank, I stood back in the shadows, as my heart slowly sank. its you in the mirror, not my face that I see. who have you become... what will you turn out to be? on the surface your fine, but something inside you lack, that hole is what's reflected, it's why I can't turn my back. so you start to turn away, your heart doesn't really want to, you think your keeping me safe, but you don't see that I still love you?
