(Dennis DeYoung and James Young)
Mirror, mirror on the wall
The face you've shown me scares me so
I thought that I could call your bluff
But now the lines are clear enough
Life's not pretty even though
I've tried so hard to make it so
Mornings are such cold distress
How did I ever get into this mess
I'm s*****ind, can't live without you
So fine I just can't get away
Now I'm s*****ind, s*****ind, s*****ind
Harmless and innocent you devil in white
You stole my will without a fight
You filled me with confidence, but you blinded my eyes
You tricked me with visions of Paradise
Now I realize I'm
s*****ind, can't live without you
So fine I just can't get away
Now I'm s*****ind, s*****ind, s*****ind
Mirror, mirror I confess
I can't escape this emptiness
No more reason to pretend
Here comes that same old feeling again
s*****ind, can't live without you
So fine I just can't get away
Won't you throw me a lifeline
I'm going down for the third time
I'm s*****ind, and I can't get away
Mirror, mirror on the wall
The face you've shown me scares me so
I thought that I could call your bluff
But now the lines are clear enough
