The Mirror

I always wanted that boy she’s in love with

And that pretty house they share up on that hill

Looks like she got the life I always wanted

And always will

I like the way she laughs when she’s laughing

And I love the way she walks into a room

Shoulders back like she ain’t scared of nothing

Down to her boots

But she just stopped me in my tracks

‘Cause I’ve never seen her look like that

She looked me right straight in the eyes

Said I don’t know why you’re surprised

The truth to me could not be any clearer

You’ve always been the girl in the mirror

She said I knew one day we’d wind up here together

You just had some catching up to do

Whether life gets bad or it gets better

Now you see what you can make it through

Now she just stopped me in my tracks

‘Cause I’ve never seen myself like that

She looked me right straight in the eyes

Said I don’t know why you’re surprised

The truth to me could not be any clearer

You’ve always been the girl in the mirror

Yeah she just stopped me in my tracks

‘Cause I’ve never seen myself like that

She looked me right straight in the eyes

Said I don’t know why you’re surprised

Well you’re tender and you’re tough

And you’re beautifully enough

And I’m talking to you girl

Yeah I’m looking at that girl in the mirror
