Uh, with everything happening today You don't know whether you're coming or going But you think that you're on your way Life lined up on the mirror don't blow it (woo) Look at me when I'm talkin' to you You lookin' at me but I'm lookin' through you I see the blood in your eyes I see the love in disguise I see the pain hidden in your pride I see you're not satisfied And I don't see nobody else I see myself, I'm looking at the Mirror on the wall (woo), here we are again (yeah) Through my rise and fall (uh) You've been my only friend (yeah) You told me that they can understand the man I am So why are we here talkin' to each other again? Uh, I see the truth in your lies I see nobody by your side But I'm with you when you're all alone And you correct me when I'm lookin' wrong I see the guilt beneath the shame I see your soul through your window pain I see the scars that remain I see you Wayne, I'm lookin' at the Mirror on the wall, here we are again (yeah) Through my rise and fall (uh-huh) You've been my only friend (my only friend) You told me that they can understand the man I am (they can understand) So why are we here talkin' to each other again (misunderstood) Lookin' at me now I can see my past Damn I look just like my fuckin' dad Light it up, that's smoke at mirrors I even look good in the broken mirror I see my momma smile that's a blessin' I see the change, I see the message And no message could been any clearer So I'm starting with the man in the Mirror on the wall (MJ taught me that) Here we are again Through my rise and fall You've been my only friend (take them to mars man) You told me that they can understand the man I am So why are we here talkin' to each other again Uh Mirror on the wall, here we are again Through my rise and fall You've been my only friend You told me that they can understand the man I am So why are we here talkin' to each other again Mirror on the wall Ayy BP, looks like I did take 'em to mars this time So why are we talkin' to each other again?
