In the mirror

by Run out of words   Jun 21, 2007


This is the first time I ever tried to write a song...so it doesn't follow any song kind of rule. I just was stuck in my room with rain and a book, and had no paper. So I quickly wrote something down on a few old receits...and I got this. I really like this one...and I hope you like it too. I find writing songs quite interesting. Please vote and comment!

(Chorus)
Whose that girl in the mirror,
Why won't she stare back?
Lookin' down in shame,
I'm afraid she's lost her track.

Time plays games with your mind,
But baby you'll survive.
Your heart, your soul, you've got to find,
Yeah...that's what we call life.

Whose that girl in the mirror,
Why won't she stare back?
Lookin' down in shame,
she wants to be everything she lacks.

Why are tears falling down her cheeks,
I dare not say she cries.
Those tears are the reason she feels so weak,
and the reason she lies.

(Chorus)
Whose that girl in the mirror,
Why won't she stare back?
Lookin' down in shame,
I'm afraid she's lost her track.

Living in her memories,
she builds castles in the sand.
The problem is that a wave comes by,
and takes the castle from her hands.

(Chorus)
Whose that girl in the mirror,
Why won't she stare back?
Lookin' down in shame,
I'm afraid she's lost her track.

Whose that girl in the mirror,
Why won't she stare back?
Lookin' down in shame,
she wants to be everything she lacks.

Could it be me?
I surely wouldn't want to cry,
I surely wouldn't have to lie.
Could it be me?
My reflection shows what I've become,
A melted ice beneath the sun.

Am I that girl in the mirror,
Am I the reason she won't stare back?
Lookin' down in shame,
I want everything I lack.
Lookin' down in shame,
I'm afraid I've lost my track.

(Chorus)
Whose that girl in the mirror,
Why won't she stare back?
Lookin' down in shame,
I'm afraid she's lost her track.

Whose that girl in the mirror,
Why won't she stare back?
Lookin' down in shame,
she wants to be everything she lacks.
