I pray I am on the other side
Her habits from them I hide even as a child
The glass it cuts me
Still I am bleeding

On the other side

The cuts still hurt, no matter how old or new
How do you pick all the splinters out?
And if I could, were do I put them?

On the other side of Mother's mirror?

Oh they hurt so bad today and yesterday too
Lord  please help me forgive her
You are the only one who can.

On the other side

Those memories won't stay in the back of my mind
I can forgive, but how do I forget?
I pray one day before I die
I will forgive and forget her

Before I get to the other side

I look behind the mirror
What do I find, just hurt and blood
Yes, that's what I still find

On the other side
