Looking in the mirror
Who do I see
Whose is the reflection
Looking back at me

As I look into my eyes
They don’t look the same
No sparkle left
None to remain

Looking in the mirror
Though the glass is clear
My vision is clouded
And that’s what I fear

Looking in the mirror
I see thru myself
Past the flaws and faults
Past what lies inside

Looking in the mirror
Who do I see
Whose is the reflection
Looking back at me
