Mirror Mirror
Mirror Mirror
Mirror mirror truth and no lies
Show me me through my own two eyes
True reflection's what I'm seeking
Not the image that you're leaking
Who's this stranger's face that I see
Why must my own eyes deceive me
Suddenly my blood runs so cold
Is this now me have I grown old
Mirror mirror be true to me
Show me me in reality
Not this stranger whom I don't know
Of an age that I don't yet show
Why has all their hair turned to white
That can't happen just overnight
Realisation is growing
Whom to me my mirror's showing
Mirror mirror show me me
Not whom I will someday be
Mirror mirror don't you lie
Mirror why do my eyes cry
Mirror mirror you trouble me
Show me me that's not whom I see
Why is this face unfamiliar
All this hair shot through with silver
Eyes so tired and mouth just frowning
Fighting hard now my minds drowning
Cruel reflection these are not lies
You've shown me me through my own eyes
Mirror mirror show me me
Not whom I will someday be
Mirror mirror don't you lie
Mirror why do my eyes cry
Mirror mirror show me me....
Mirror mirror show me me....
