 The Face in the Mirror
The Face in the Mirror

I look into the mirror
And look into the face
Who's that other person
And who did he replace
He seems to be smiling
But I see in his eyes
He is only lying
Can't you hear his cries

He tries to hide the pain
He holds deep in his heart
The love for her remains
Although they are apart
Before they said goodbye
She gave him one last kiss
He didn't realize
How much she would be missed

Two years have gone by since
He saw her walk away
The memories of the past
Haunt him every day
He lives each day as if
Nothing ever happened
But if you look inside
You'd see it was the end

I look into the mirror
It's then I realize
That this other person
Is wearing a disguise
I see it in his face
I see behind that smile
That person he is me
I knew it all the while
