I’ve painted poems for others
Reflecting how I feel
I’ve heard sad songs from cowboys
In gentle words I steal
But you’re off in a new life
While mine is a reflection
You couldn’t expect any more from me
Than my fear of rejection
I’ll let you see just who I am
I promise I won’t conceal it
And you will learn all I know
Because I must reveal it

You’re a mirror to me
In a mirror I see
You’re the mirror, a mirror
My mystery

Of all the roads I’ve traveled
And all the paths I’ve worn
I can’t go back and hope to find
That which I’ll never learn
A child may know the answer
To the question of our fates
But who will be around to hear
The thoughts that she relates?
When I ask of you this question
Must I answer to your lie?
Are we truly friends forever
When we say our last goodbye?

You’re a mirror to me
In a mirror I see
I’m the mirror, a mirror
You can’t break me
