The Mirror

So you think you don't need me anymore

They say I'm no longer what you're lookin' for

All your so-called friends are just means to an end

You're losin' the battle to win a war

But I'm holdin' up a mirror

Do you like what you see?

'Cause I'm holdin' up a mirror

So you can see what you look like to me

Raw ambition is a mother, though

It can steal away your heart and soul

Make you sell out the people that you used to know

So you can get to the place where you think you wanna go

But I'm holdin' up a mirror

Do you like what you see?

'Cause I'm holdin' up a mirror

So you can see what you look like to me

Now I have been down the road you're on

Cravin' fortune and fame

A shootin' star, then the moment's gone

And everyone forgets your name

Forget it, forget it

A lesson lived is a lesson learned

Music suffers as the system turns

Your heartfelt expression into a deal for a fee

But you better keep it comin'

'Cause they get it all for free

And I'm holdin' up a mirror

Do you like what you see?

Yes, I'm holdin' up a mirror

So you can see what you look like to me

Yes, I'm holdin' up a mirror

Do ya like what you see?

Now I'm holdin' up a mirror

So you can see what you look like to me
