Reflections
Drew Taylor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Are you really me?
Can it truly be?
This vision I see?
Reflections of you
And me
Oh, what can I do?
Those broken glass eyes
Reflect enmity[1]
Reflections of you
And me
This mirror divides
That girl that's inside
I'm trying to find
She's trying to hide
Reflections of you
And me
