The mirror shows a hidden face,
A shadow trapped, I can't erase.
Whispers echo down the hall;
Why do you plan for my fall?
Mirror, mirror, cruel and kind,
You know the secrets I try to hide.
Lock them up and forget the key,
Mysteries staying between you and me.
A thousand years behind the glass,
I watch the future, mourn the past.
The girl I was, the ones I’ll be;
They linger here, looking back at me.
Mirror, mirror, cold and wide,
You hold the tears I’ve tried to hide.
I see her there - she looks like me,
A girl I lost to memory.

The mirror shows a hidden face,
A shadow trapped, I can't erase.
Whispers echo down the hall;
Why do you plan for my fall?
Mirror, mirror, cruel and kind,
You know the secrets I try to hide.
Lock them up and forget the key,
Mysteries staying between you and me.
A thousand years behind the glass,
I watch the future, mourn the past.
The girl I was, the ones I’ll be;
They linger here, looking back at me.
Mirror, mirror, cold and wide,
You hold the tears I’ve tried to hide.
I see her there - she looks like me,
A girl I lost to memory.
