Man in the Mirror
Grif Lyrics

I'm only human
I am fallible and prone to making mistakes.

I make mistakes
I frequently make errors or wrong decisions.

You best believe it don't feel okay
It is important for you to understand that I am not okay with my mistakes.

Just let me leave
Allow me to depart or distance myself from the situation.

Don't get too close
Please do not become intimately involved or attached.

Tryna hideaway
Attempting to conceal or isolate myself from others.

But they breaking walls
However, others are breaking down the barriers or defenses I have put up.

Heart freezing season
A period of emotional coldness or detachment.

I'm playing on ice
Engaging in risky behavior or taking chances without being prepared.

And I can't skate
I lack the skill or ability to navigate smoothly through the challenges.

So I'll leave tonight
As a result, I will depart or escape from the current situation.

All this reckless love
The love I have shown has been impulsive and without thought or consideration.

Is my kryptonite
It weakens and undermines my strength or resilience.

And that Dirty dancing
Engaging in a risky or immoral behavior that goes against what is socially acceptable.

Turn a switch we don't like
It triggers a change or transformation that we find unfavorable or disturbing.

It's no wonder you leaving
It is not surprising that you are choosing to leave.

I ain't treating you right
I am not behaving or treating you in a proper or satisfactory manner.

The heart breaks easy
Emotional pain and heartbreak are easily experienced.

When you fight it all night
When one struggles or battles with their emotions throughout the night.

I'm the product of taking
I am the result or consequence of selfishly taking what I desired.

When I feel it's mine
When I believe or convince myself that something rightfully belongs to me.

So I took your heart
I selfishly took hold of your affections or love.

When I was dead inside
During a time when I felt emotionally numb or lifeless.

Echoing these questions
Repeating or resonating with unresolved inquiries or doubts.

It's all I hear
These questions dominate or consume my thoughts and perception.

Collusion and confusion
Secret or illicit cooperation and a state of bewilderment.

Flood the mirrors
Overwhelm or inundate the reflective surfaces that hold my reflection.

I'm starting to fear
Starting to become afraid or anxious.

The man in the mirror
Referring to oneself and the reflection of who I truly am.

I'm outta control
Being without restraint or self-discipline.

I'm Outta my mind right now
Feeling mentally overwhelmed or unstable in the current moment.

Please tell ma mama not to worry
Kindly inform my mother that there is no need for concern.

Thought I read you the rules
Believed that I had explained or set expectations clearly.

She was too good to lose
She possessed qualities or characteristics that were too valuable to let go.
