"Girl In The Mirror"
For .., who suggested Britany – this is an older song (as in when she was still, you know, 'innocent') but highly relelvant for the whole 'Bella' thing. As always, a pleasure to write.
There's a girl in the mirror
I wonder who she is
Sometimes I think I know her
Sometimes I really wish I did
There's a story in her eyes
Lullabies and goodbyes
When she's looking back at me
I can tell her heart is broken easily
This room.
This place.
This Mirror.
They all seem familiar. Especially this girl in my mirror. She looks a bit like me.
The same hair – though hers is duller.
The same face, though hers is paler, thinner.
The same eyes – though hers a lifeless, full of lullabies and goodbyes.
I wish I knew this girl in my mirror.
Sometimes, I think I did.
When she looks at me, it's easy to tell that her heart has been broken.
'Cause the girl in my mirror
Is crying out tonight
And there's nothing I can tell her
To make her feel alright
Oh the girl in my mirror
Is crying 'cause of you
And I wish there was something
Something I could do
This girl in my mirror – I know exactly what she's going to do.
She's going to cry. Cry and cry and cry.
Tonight will be no exception.
She done it yesterday and she'll do it tomorrow.
And nothing I can tell her will make her feel alright.
If I could
I would tell her
Not to be afraid
The pain that she's feeling
The sense of loneliness will fade
So dry your tears and rest assured
Love will
find you like before
When she's looking back at me
I know nothing really works that easily
It's so sad, to see this person in my mirror.
If I could reach her, I'd tell her to not be afraid.
That the pain she is feeling will go away.
The loneliness will fade.
That her tears will have to dry.
That she will find love again, love even better than before.
But then she looks at me, and I know that nothing is ever that simple.
Nothing works out that easy.
'Cause the girl in my mirror
Is crying out tonight
And there's nothing I can tell her
To make her feel alright
Oh the girl in my mirror
Is crying 'cause of you
And I wish there was something
I wish there was something
Oh I wish there was something
I could do
I know who this girl in my mirror is crying for.
She's crying for you as well.
Edward.
Just like I did.
But there's nothing I can do.
I can't believe it's what I see
That the girl in the mirror
The girl in the mirror
Is me
She looks at lot like me.
But I can't believe it.
That this girl – could she be me?
That girl in the mirror?
I can't believe what I see (no...)
(The girl in my mirror)
The girl in my mirror is me
Ohh...is me
I touch my face.
So does the girl.
I feel tears.
So does the girl.
Oh my God.
I am the girl.
The girl in the mirror is me
'Cause the girl in my mirror
Is crying out tonight
And there's nothing I can tell her
To make her feel alright
Oh the girl in my mirror
Is crying 'cause of you
I wish there was something
I wish there was something
Oh I wish there was something
I could do
I place my arms out in front of me.
And the tears start.
Nothing is going to stop them.
Nothing I say.
Nothing I do.
It's all because of Edward.
I wish there was something – anything I could do.
