Cracked Mirror
Why is it when I look into your eyes
I see our forever behind them?
I see the happiness that we could have
If we only gave
Each other a real chance.
If we tried we’d never make each other blue.
All it takes is saying, “I love you.”
What happens to me
When I see your smile gleaming at me?
Can’t you see
I want your smile constantly?
It’s you…
It’s always been you.
I want you to know that
I always think of where you’re at
Your life …
Can I fit into it?
I feel like I’m trapped behind a cracked mirror.
I’m watching my life roll by
Why did we never truly say “Good-bye”?
Good-bye was all I needed to know.
I could love you through the ice and snow.
Through the sun and rain, too.
All I wanted was to give you my heart
And the knowledge
That I’d never part.
Cracked mirror,
I want to come through
It is what I truly need to do.
Can you show me how?
Hold my head up high
Despite what will pass me by.
I just want you at my side.
That’s all I’m askin’
Am I being selfish?
Looking at the cracked mirror,
I’m still hopeless over you.
I want to stop myself from wanting you
With every fiber of my being.
I wish you were seeing
What I can offer you
How I could love you.
I’d do anything for you.
You’ve got me
And I would love to have you.
But I know this can’t be true.
For someone has your heart.
Come look with me
At our reflection
And make our love the exception
My life began with your inception!
I love you without definition.
My love for you is pure
And I have always felt sure
Of this knowledge I hold in my heart.
Our love would never part.
Strong and true forever more.
My life without you is kind of a bore.
What am I truly saying?
That I want your love
From now until our days wind down.
Hand in hand is how we’ll leave this town!
