self reflection

[Verse 1]

Been living my life from the passenger side

Guess you never know who’s willing to ride or die

Gave me the blues and then painted me grey

They shoved me aside just to throw me away


[Pre-Chorus]

But they will never see me like you do

I hope it’s just a phase they’re going through

I just hope you don’t treat me like they do

But I have also heard the lies that came from you


[Chorus]

This sidе of the mirror sees another side

Of thе story that I’ve never quite seen from you

This side of the lies that were told that December night

Is a different story from you

‘Cause one lie leads to another lie

Leads to another side

Told by you

But this time, I’m gonna see through your smile

You need a self reflection of you


[Verse 2]

They must’ve read you upside-down

There had to be more rumors flying around

‘Cause they’ve been pointing with their fingers crossed

Must’ve been from when you got your stories tied in a knot


[Pre-Chorus]

But I never know if you are telling me the truth

I hope it’s just a phase you are going through

‘Cause you’ve started treated me just like they do

I found truth within your lies just like I always do


[Chorus]

This side of the mirror sees another side

Of the story that I’ve never quite seen from you

This side of the lies that were told that December night

Is a different story from you

‘Cause one lie leads to another lie

Leads to another side

Told by you

But this time, I’m gonna see through your smile

You need a self reflection of you


[Bridge]

Will you ever change back to the girl I knew?

Because even now, I still think the one is you

But I can’t cover up your lies my entire life

And I won’t try to change your mind every single time


[Chorus]

This side of the mirror sees another side

Of the story that I’ve never quite seen from you

This side of the lies that were told that December night

Is a different story from you

‘Cause one lie leads to another lie

Leads to another side

Told by you

But this time, I’m gonna see through your smile

You need a self reflection of you

A self reflection of you

You’ll never see my point of view
