Lyrics
[Intro]
With everything happenin' today
You don't know whether you're comin' or goin'
But you think that you're on your way
Life lined up on the mirror, don't blow it
[Verse 1]
Look at me when I'm talkin' to you
You lookin' at me, but I'm lookin' through you
I see the blood in your eyes, I see the love in disguise
I see the pain hidden in your pride, I see you're not satisfied
And I don't see nobody else
I see myself
I'm lookin' at the
[Chorus]
Mirror on the wall, here we are again
Through my rise and fall, you've been my only friend (Yeah, oh, yeah)
You told me that they can understand the man I am
So why are we here talkin' to each other again?
[Verse 2]
Uh, I see the truth in your lies, I see nobody by your side
But I'm with you when you're all alone
And you correct me when I'm lookin' wrong
I see the guilt beneath the shame
I see your soul through your windowpane
I see the scars that remain
I see Wayne
I'm lookin' at the
[Chorus]
Mirror on the wall, here we are again
Through my rise and fall, you've been my only friend
You told me that they can understand the man I am
So why are we here talkin' to each other again?
[Verse 3]
Lookin' at me now, I can see my past
Damn, I look just like my fuckin' dad
Light it up, that's smoke and mirrors
I even look good in the broken mirror
I see my mama smile, that's a blessing
I see the change, I see the message
And no message could've been any clearer
So I'm startin' with the man in the
[Bridge]
Mirror on the wall, here we are again (MJ taught me that)
Through my rise and fall, you've been my only friend (Uh, take 'em to Mars, man)
You told me that they can understand the man I am
So why are we talkin' to each other again?
[Chorus]
Mirror on the wall, here we are again
Through my rise and fall, you've been my only friend (Any questions?)
You told me that they can understand the man I am (I come to you)
So why are we here talkin' to each other again? (You always have the answer)
[Outro]
Mirror on the wall
Aye, B.P.
Looks like I did take 'em to Mars this time
So why are we talkin' to each other again?
