I locked myself in the bathroom Pressed up against the wall Filled with sorrow and gloom God, I want to end it all. I stare into the mirror And think of what I am If only I could see clearer If only I wasn’t a sham The people, they tell me Of all the deeds I do How I bring this glee It doesn’t stick, not like glue All I see in this mirror Is a monster, what I am The feeling, it draws nearer Those compliments, oh man They don’t affect me No, not at all I wish I was an escapee But I’m stuck against this wall People only love you That much is true But what’s a man to do When nobody likes you?

The Mirror
I locked myself in the bathroom Pressed up against the wall Filled with sorrow and gloom God, I want to end it all. I stare into the mirror And think of what I am If only I could see clearer If only I wasn’t a sham The people, they tell me Of all the deeds I do How I bring this glee It doesn’t stick, not like glue All I see in this mirror Is a monster, what I am The feeling, it draws nearer Those compliments, oh man They don’t affect me No, not at all I wish I was an escapee But I’m stuck against this wall People only love you That much is true But what’s a man to do When nobody likes you?
