The Monyos - The Mirror Lyrics

Raining tears across her face
She can't breathe with all this load upon her chest
That strain she can't even name
Tries to find out where it comes from
Maybe from that awful mirror on the wall

She'd love to be stronger, mom
You may know it although you don't talk too much
Being your sweet babe again
Never mind what's in the closet
Between your arms she won't feel anymore this pain

She wishes to believe
But when she thinks about herself there is no future
'Cause she's stuck and she can't find any relief
She's not ready for this fight, feels like a loser
Willing to find the light... or the solution

Something happened just today
Nothing special but she feels no longer scared
Jimmy came and spoke to her
Said she's gorgeous and he likes her
She felt shy saying "yes" to have a date

They went to the mall to dine
Holding hands and they were laughing all the time
They went back home in his car
His fingers stroking her arms slowly
She hopes he couldn't feel the edges of the scars

It's been a while since then
But when she thinks about those years she feels confusion
'Cause she knows there was something within her look
Every time she was staring at that mirror
Now she can see the light... she's the solution
