[Verse 1] I kept the mirror turned away. Afraid of what I’d see. If I refused to face the flaws, Perhaps they weren’t in me. I thought one honest look would show The flaws I’d always feared. I loved the image in my mind More than what appeared. [Pre-Chorus] The mirror never chased me. It just waited silently. The only thing that kept me bound Was my hesitance to see. [Chorus] I did not want to look. I couldn’t bear the sight. I thought the mirror was my pain, The enemy to fight. But peace was waiting On the other side. Not when I broke the mirror… But when I stopped trying to hide. [Verse 2] I spent my strength defending The story I had known. Afraid if it should fall apart, I’d be left alone. The louder questions grew, The more I turned away. The truth stood where I’d left it, Unmoved by my delay. [Pre-Chorus] The mirror never chased me. It just waited silently. The only thing that kept me bound Was my hesitance to see. [Chorus] I did not want to look. I couldn’t bear the sight. I thought the mirror was my pain, The enemy to fight. But peace was waiting On the other side. Not when I broke the mirror… But when I stopped trying to hide. [Verse 3] At last I faced the mirror. The thing I’d feared was true. Yet somehow when I owned it, Its power simply flew. The terror wasn’t seeing. The terror was the fight. The peace I’d searched for all along Was waiting in the light. [Final Chorus] I finally chose to look. I finally faced the light. The mirror wasn’t cruel at all; It only ended flight. I found peace there waiting On the other side. Not when I broke the mirror… But when I stopped trying to hide.
