I smile when you're happy, A reflection of the light you shine, I cry when you're sad, The tears are mine, though they're not mine. I bristle when you're feeling angry, I can feel the storm in your eyes, I scowl when you're burning with jealousy, Though your flame doesn't reach the sky. I try to imitate all your words and deeds, Though I can't ever let out a sound, I'm trapped in your shadow, following your lead, In silence, I am bound. You mean everything to me, Though I know I'm just a small part of your life, A whisper in the wind, a fleeting memory, I'll always be here, though I can't survive. And when you're gone, Nothing is left inside of me, Like a mirror, I only reflect your reality. I laugh when you're joyful, Even if the joy isn't for me, I ache when you stumble, As though your pain cuts through my heart, silently. I echo your words, I follow your gaze, But I can't break free from this quiet haze, You don't see me, not even for a day, But I'll always be there, in my own silent way. I try to imitate all your words and deeds, Though I can't ever let out a sound, I'm trapped in your shadow, following your lead, In silence, I am bound. You mean everything to me, Though I know I'm just a small part of your life, A whisper in the wind, a fleeting memory, I'll always be here, though I can't survive. And when you're gone, Nothing is left inside of me, Like a mirror, I only reflect your reality. In the quiet, I still stand, A reflection of the love you never understand, You can leave, you can go, But I'll remain, in the mirror's glow. You mean everything to me, Though I know I'm just a small part of your life, A whisper in the wind, a fleeting memory, I'll always be here, though I can't survive. And when you're gone, Nothing is left inside of me, Like a mirror, I only reflect your reality. When you're gone... Nothing remains but me, Just a mirror of what you wanted to be.
