The Effect

"Mirror, mirror on the wall"

Isn't what she said at all

Memories, memories

I'm not sure

Were they ever real or were they forged?

Have I been deceived?

Should I even grieve?

Was it all make believe?

If I could replay all the golden days

Would they be cold and grey?

What if it was all a lie?

What if we were never fine?

What if it's all just in my head?

Part of the effect

And if it was all a dream

What a nightmare it would be

To wake up in my bed

To break the effect

"Mirror, mirror on the wall"

Isn't what she said, it never was

I'm blinding by gaslights

And pictures of snow white smiles

But if I turn them upside down

I see a more familiar frown

Have I been deceived?

Should I even grieve?

Was it all make believe?

What if it was all a lie?

What if we were never fine?

What if it's all just in my head?

Part of the effect

And if it was all a dream

What a nightmare it would be

To wake up in my bed

"Mirror, mirror" wasn't ever what she said

How could I forget?

How could we all forget?

"Mirror, mirror on the wall"

Wasn't what she said at all
