Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've been walking through this house of glass
Trying not to breathe too loud, trying not to crack
Every step reflects a different me
And with so many angles, it's hard to know what is seen
[Chorus]
We're just mirrors, standing face to face
Both afraid the truth might break the frame
I see fear where love could be
You see doubt when you look at me
But if we both just reached across
We'd find we're not alone at all
We're just mirrors
Not a flaw, just a reflection lost
[Verse 2]
We both reach out but hold our breath
Scared to guess what is coming next
You pull away and I reflect
Was it your fear or my regret?
We move like shadows on the wall
Just waiting for the other to fall
But all I want is you to see
I'm not changing, I'm just more me
[Chorus]
We're just mirrors, standing face to face
Both afraid the truth might break the frame
I see fear where love could be
You see doubt when you look at me
But if we both just reached across
We'd find we're not alone at all
We're just mirrors
Not a flaw, just a reflection lost
[Outro]
If we could turn these mirrors into windows
We'd see we're both just trying to grow
Not running, not hiding--just trying to know
How to love when you fear being alone
