[Verse 1] You ask for silver, I turn to chrome You call me fearless, I harden my tone A borrowed smile in a borrowed frame I learn your answer, forget my name [Pre-Chorus] Every little wish leaves a mark on the glass Every face I wear makes the old one pass [Chorus] Mirror, take the shape they ask you to be Give them the version they came here to see But when the room empties, who looks back at me? I’ve changed so many times, I can’t find the key [Verse 2] You like me quiet, I swallow the spark You want a bright grin, I paint one in the dark I practice each angle, each polished reply Till my own reflection won’t meet my eye [Pre-Chorus] Every little wish leaves a mark on the glass Every face I wear makes the old one pass [Chorus] Mirror, take the shape they ask you to be Give them the version they came here to see But when the room empties, who looks back at me? I’ve changed so many times, I can’t find the key [Bridge] Maybe beneath all the borrowed light There’s one small outline I knew by sight I touch the glass; I let it stay No more requests to smooth me away [Final Chorus] Mirror, take the shape they ask you to be I’ll keep the part that still belongs to me When the room empties, I’ll look back and see A face I remember, looking back at me [Outro] A face I remember Looking back at me
