You are surrounded by people, Vain and empty. You reflect others but retain nothing. You have nothing to offer except flickers of images. You absorb darkness but can't hold light. You are surrounded by people, Vain and empty, When your glass is intact and their reflections aren't distorted. You remain vain and empty. People use you for an SOS when they're lost And drop you when they're found. You're used and broken. Once you crack your shards are tossed to the side. No amount of glue can put you back together Once you're used and broken.

You are surrounded by people, Vain and empty. You reflect others but retain nothing. You have nothing to offer except flickers of images. You absorb darkness but can't hold light. You are surrounded by people, Vain and empty, When your glass is intact and their reflections aren't distorted. You remain vain and empty. People use you for an SOS when they're lost And drop you when they're found. You're used and broken. Once you crack your shards are tossed to the side. No amount of glue can put you back together Once you're used and broken.
