Mirror

Look in your mirror...
Tell me what you see,
Is it your reflection...?
Or are you seeing me?

Look in your mirror it won’t tell you no lies,
Look deep inside it 
Look deep in your eyes.

That... what you hate and that you criticize,
Is what you are seeing,
Right now in your eyes....

The anger, the words that you can’t control,
The things you despise in me....
Now in your life are taking their toll.

You notice everything I say and do,
Without noticing that you’re doing the same
things too.

So look in your mirror,
And tell me what you see....
Is that your reflection...?
Or are you seeing me?
