lyrics
When you look in the mirror, what do you see
Do you see the man that you wanted to be
Or do you see, a man living someone else’s destiny
When you look in the mirror, how can you tell
The parts that you’ll buy from the one that you’ll sell
And do you know which ones, you’re keeping to yourself
I wish that you could see yourself, the way you’re seen by everybody else
So when you look at your reflection, you wouldn’t see just what needs correcting
You never have to look upon
Yourself in the mirror and only see what’s wrong
You never have to see your face
And only see the things you think need to be changed
You never have to be alone
When you look in the mirror, how do you know
The parts for you, and the ones for show
Is that a secret that only you hold
I wish that you could see yourself, the way you’re seen by everybody else
So when you look at your reflection, you wouldn’t see only the imperfections
You never have to be alone
You are not ever on your own
You never have to be upset
Cause you’ve got nothing to regret
You never have to feel ashamed
You never have to be afraid
You never have to be alone
Cause you’ve got me you’ve got a home
When you look in the mirror, does it feel true
That the man you’re meant to be is staring back at you
Or do you look in the mirror, like I do
