You stare at the looking glass
Like a model posing for a photograph
Stressin' over what to wear
And how to style your hair
If you could see yourself through my eyes
You wouldn't waste your time, 'cause
It's a mirror
It's just a mirror
Can't see all that you are
Doesn't know your tender heart
It's glass and metal
It's not sentimental
It can't capture how you take
The breath in my lungs away
'Cause it's just a mirror
And it can't reach beneath your skin, to
Feel the heart that beats within you
Doesn't know the fight you fight
Can't hear who you're praying for at night
It'll never know you the way I do
How your laughter fills a room, 'cause
It's a mirror
It's just a mirror
Can't see all that you are
Doesn't know your tender heart
It's glass and metal
It's not sentimental
Can't capture how you take
The breath in my lungs away
And it's just a mirror
One day you'll see through your eyes
How your beauty lights up my life
And, you'll see clearer
Give the mirror a little smile
Then walk on by, 'cause
It's a mirror
It's just a mirror
Can't see all that you are
Doesn't know your tender heart
It's glass and metal
It's not sentimental
Can't capture how you take
The breath in my lungs away
'Cause it's just a mirror
It's just a mirror
It's just a mirror
