When I feel your eyes on me I fall to my knees
And I wait for your look to judge and define me
I'm just a soft shell melting between your hands
Starving for substance, identity
I am not afraid of this act of mutual creation
I gain from you as you gain from me
I'd never try to place my sins on your shoulders
I know that is just the way it works

You're my mirror
Everything I do I see through you
You're my mirror
Me, in your eyes I hide
You're my mirror
What you see is what you put in me
You're my mirror
In your eyes

As I turn around to leave, still in your shape
I catch a glimpse of my reflection in the pane by your bed
What an odd surprise to bump into myself like that
No wall to send me back my call
I can see right through myself to the flowers on your lawn
And the empty space before me swallows everything you've given me
I turn back to your look to find peace in your conception
I'm nothing without you, I'm hollow without you

I see in his eyes an insecurity, childishly submissive
I say foolish things I do foolish things for attention
I find in her look some kind of unfamiliar hardness
In her eyes I'm a cynic, an ever-conscious cynic

You're my mirror
Everything I do I see through you
You're my mirror
Me, in your eyes I hide
You're my mirror
What you see is what you put in me
You're my mirror

You're my mirror

It's not as simple as that
It's not as easy as you would want to think
I'm not as strong as I seem
Born to suck life from the pain that you cause me
