Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In the morning on the train
You sit and stare out at the rain
Or bury yourself in your books
Don't look at no strangers
No, don't give them any looks
[Verse 2]
Well, you asked yourself why you're so afraid
Why you hesitate when someone asks your name
Like they'll come too close if you tell them the truth
Who's to say they want somethin' from you?
[Verse 3]
But you're just a shell of your former you
That stranger in the mirror, oh, that's you
Ooh-ooh, why'd you look so blue?
[Verse 4]
And the only man you ever loved
You thought was gonna marry you
Died in a car accident
When he was only twenty-two
And then you just decided
Love wasn't for you
And every year since then
Has proved it to be true
[Verse 5]
Now you're just a shell of your former you
That stranger in the mirror, oh, that's you
Ooh-ooh, why'd you look so blue?
[Verse 6]
Maybe tomorrow you will make a change
Maybe someday soon you will find the strength
[Verse 7]
Now you're just a shell of your former you
That stranger in the mirror, oh, that's you
Ooh-ooh, why'd you look so blue?
