Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Staring at my reflection
I see all of my deception
The wicked games I used to play
The lies I told you every day
Your love was always crystal clear
While I kept lying, living in fear
[Chorus]
A mirror, can't tell a lie
Or show me why you said goodbye
Every flaw and every tale
My broken heart, my every fail
I can't hide from what I see
The monster that lives inside of me
[Verse 2]
Makeup just can't hide the truth
Of all the things I put you through
Fancy clothes and flowing hair
Couldn't mask the devil living in there
I have to face myself each night
This harsh reality, my inner fight
[Chorus]
A mirror, it just can't tell a lie
Or show me why you said goodbye
Every flaw and every tale
My broken heart, my every fail
I cannot hide from what I see
The monster that lives inside of me
[Bridge]
Sometimes the hardest part to face
Is the truth we try, to erase
No filter can ever disguise
The pain I hide behind these eyes
The person that I became
It is just me, I am to blame
It is just me, I AM to blame-
[Chorus]
A mirror, it just cannot tell a lie
Or show me why that you had to say goodbye
Every flaw and every tale
My shattered heart, my many fails
I can't hide from what I see
The monster that lives inside of me
The mirror, it just can't tell a lie
The mirror, it just can't tell a lie
The mirror just can't tell, a lie
