Mirror Mirror
CARA-C Lyrics

I look up in the mirror and see
The singer looks at herself in the mirror

That my own damn reflection won’t look at me
The singer feels so bad about herself that even her reflection doesn't want to look at her

I try to see clearer but gee it can’t be
The singer tries to see things more clearly but fails

Nastily lost direction and now I want to flee
The singer is lost and wants to run away

Oh me, oh my. I swear I did try
The singer expresses disbelief and swears that she tried to do something

To be a good guy, Look me in the eye
The singer urges someone to look her in the eye to see that she was trying to be good

I swear I won’t lie, but I
The singer swears she won't lie but then admits to doing something wrong

I slipped a little last night
The singer made a mistake last night

I lost my first real fight
The singer lost a battle with temptation

To lady Lust’s seductive bite
The singer was tempted by lust

I let liquor obstruct my sight
The singer drank too much and couldn't see things clearly

We we’re young, dumb, drunk and silly

Your bed was comfy, and the night was chilly

I flung in with no thoughts really

You tasted like honey and smelled like lily
The other person's taste and smell were attractive to the singer

Risky when your drunk and frisky
The singer acknowledges that they made a risky decision when they were both drunk and in the mood for sex

Misty so I sunk and missed the
The singer felt confused and made a mistake

Lifeboat, now I’m lost at sea

I could not float so you set me free
The other person realized they weren't right for one another and ended things

Let me be, let me go

Let it be, yeah let it go

Oh, I tried, yeah I tried for a while

Thought I did the right thing to put us on trial

We ended things of easy and it made me realize

Cause oooh hooo I knew

That I would never love you. That I would never love you
