There's a girl in the mirror
I wonder who she is
Sometimes I think I know her
Sometimes I really wish I did
There's a story in her eyes
Lullabies and goodbyes
When she's looking back at me
I can tell her heart is broken easily
'Cause the girl in my mirror
Is crying out tonight
And there's nothing I can tell her
To make her feel alright
Oh, the girl in my mirror
Is crying 'cause of you
And I wish there was something
Something I could do
If I could, I would tell her
Not to be afraid
The pain that she's feeling
The sense of loneliness will fade
So dry your tears and rest assured
Love will find you like before
When she's looking back at me
I know nothing really works that easily
'Cause the girl in my mirror
Is crying out tonight
And there's nothing I can tell her
To make her feel alright
Oh, the girl in my mirror
Is crying 'cause of you
And I wish there was something
I wish there was something
Oh, I wish there was something I could do
I can't believe it's what I see
That the girl in the mirror
The girl in the mirror
Is me
I can't believe what I see, oh
(That the girl in my mirror)
The girl in the mirror
Is me
Oh, is me
'Cause the girl in my mirror
Is crying out tonight
And there's nothing I can tell her
To make her feel alright
Oh, the girl in my mirror
Is crying 'cause of you
And I wish there was something
I wish there was something
Oh, I wish there was something I could do
