Lying to the Mirror

By: R. A. Cvetich

I wake up every morning

And this feeling comes without warning

The feeling that I miss you

And I have to keep telling myself

That I’ll be better off with someone else

Because our time is through

And I have to convince myself every day

That I don’t love you anyway

CHORUS

I look into the mirror

Try to fight the tears

As I see the reflection of the reason why you’re gone

Gotta tell myself a lie:

That I’m glad we said goodbye

And that I have already moved on

Yeah, that girl staring back at me

I’ve got to make her believe

That she doesn’t feel anything for you

And God, I hope she hears…

I’m lying to the mirror

I go to bed every night

And do my best just to fight

This feeling that I need you by my side

The only way I can make it through

Is to force myself to hate you

And ignore the fact that I’m dying inside

And every day, just like the one before

I tell myself that I don’t want you anymore

Repeat CHORUS

Bridge

Staring into my reflection

Trying to suppress the resurrection

Of these feelings that I buried long ago

The fact that we didn’t last

Makes me want to break the glass

And shatter the image of the girl who let you go

I just want to scream out what I know is true:

That I love you…I have always loved you

But I’m telling myself that those feelings disappeared

I’m lying to the mirror

Repeat CHORUS
