lyrics

I was lost for forty days
Wandering the sands of time
When I stumbled on a familiar face
Yours or mine?

The image was still as glass
In a pool, or so I thought
I thought I found water, but when I drank
I only tasted salt

Mirror, mirror
Do my eyes deceive?
Mirror, mirror
Only reflecting me

I fell for the illusion
I’d return to your garden
I convinced myself it was only human
To stay brokenhearted

But the Eden I remembered
Was never really there
Just a mirage I invented
For truth too hard to bear

Mirror, mirror
Do my eyes deceive?
Mirror, mirror
Only a fantasy

Where we were meant to be
Another you, another me
Where you’re the man of my dreams
Not just misconceived

Mirror, mirror
Do my eyes deceive?
Mirror, mirror
Only reflecting me
Mirror, mirror
You’re not what you seem
Mirror, mirror
Only a fantasy
