Me and the Mirror

[Verse 1]
Caught him again
Same cracked glass
Same stare
But there’s two of him grinning back
Like he’s glad I’m going nowhere
I clench my jaw
He copies every move
Mouth says
“I’m fine
I’m fine”
But the eyes won’t approve
[Pre-Chorus]
Why’s he smiling
When I’m barely holding fast
Every lie that I’ve been hiding
Written in the glass (yeah)
[Chorus]
I’m in a war in the mirror tonight
Every time I swing
He swings back twice
I keep yelling I’m satisfied
But he multiplies
Multiplies
That stranger wearing my tired face
Keeps laughing loud in my quiet place
I keep saying I’m satisfied
He just smiles wide
Smiles wide
[Verse 2]
Bathroom light
Cold tile on my feet
All these trophies on the counter
Still taste like defeat
He tilts his head
Like
“That all you got?”
I’ve been living on excuses
He’s been calling my bluff a lot
[Pre-Chorus]
Why’s he stronger
Every time I say “I’m fine”?
Every crack along the silver
Spells out every crossed line (hey)
[Chorus]
I’m in a war in the mirror tonight
Every time I swing
He swings back twice
I keep yelling I’m satisfied
But he multiplies
Multiplies
That stranger wearing my tired face
Keeps laughing loud in my quiet place
I keep saying I’m satisfied
He just smiles wide
Smiles wide
[Bridge]
I’ve denied
Denied
Every knot inside
(Yeah)
He just stands there
Arms out
Like he’s daring me to try
[Chorus]
I’m in a war in the mirror tonight
Every time I swing
He swings back twice
I keep yelling I’m satisfied
But he multiplies
Multiplies
That stranger wearing my tired face
Keeps laughing loud in my quiet place
I keep saying I’m satisfied
He just smiles wide
Smiles wide (oh)
I keep saying I’m satisfied
He just smiles wide
War in the mirror tonight
