[singer A] The mirror in the hall caught me stopping twice today Not because I looked for it Didn't mean to look But there you were One second walking past The next one staring back Looking like somebody dragging that damage Funny how a piece of glass Can find the cracks we ignore [transition] [singer B] The mirror in the hall caught me stopping twice today Not because I went looking, it just got in the way One second I was walking, trying not to think at all The next thing I was staring at somebody I don't call Somebody dragging old damage from a hundred miles back Funny how a piece of glass can always find the cracks The ones I keep avoiding The ones I never name The ones that show up anyway No matter what I say [transition] [singer A] I know that look We've had that talk I say let it go You say why not? I say it's gone You say you wish I say not now You say when then? Mirrors and me At it again [singer B] The glass beside the front door gets me when I'm leaving Like it's standing there deciding whether I still believe it The same old lines, the same cover-up The same old "I'm good" story I've been feeding you for years now Trying to make it sound true Like if I keep repeating it Maybe it'll finally sink in too But the reflection doesn't buy it Never has and never will It just stands there every morning Waiting for me standing still [transition] [singer A] You know me better than I do You saw things I lied my way through Every scar I swore was gone Still hanging there When the lights come on I say I'm alright You say since when? I say I'm getting by You say say it again I say it's over You say prove it I say I'm trying You say I knew it [transition] [singer B] Some things don't disappear Just because you stop saying them I say nothing's wrong You say look again I say I'm moving on You say from what then? I say leave it alone You say where's the fun in that? Mirrors and me Back at it again [singer A] I say I'm better You say compared to when? I say I've changed You say show me then I say don't start You say you already did Mirrors and me Back at it again I say it's nothing You say that's what's in your head I say forget it You say there it is I say I'm healed You just stare Mirrors and me Neither one of us believes me The mirror in the hall doesn't say a word Never has Still somehow Knows exactly where to hurt
