Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause I've seen that look before
Tell me what's inside mirror
'Cause we both agreed no more
We were so close to getting over him
Now you're telling me we're going back
Again in
How could you
Betray me
And take my heart back through that door
Oh mirror
Please tell me
We both deserve so much more
How could you
Oh mirror
What pleases you is hurting me
Tell me mirror
How could it be
Oh
Look into my eyes mirror
Can't believe the things he said
See through his disguise
Mirror
Come with me, let's run away
We were so close to getting over him
Now you're telling me we're going back again
How could you
Betray me
And take my heart back through that door
Oh mirror
Please tell me
We both deserve so much more
How could you
Oh mirror
What pleases you keeps hurting me
Tell me mirror
There's no way new love can find us
If we keep looking behind us
No more heartache
That ain't the way loves supposed to be
There's no way new love can find us
If we keep looking behind us
So this time mirror
Listen to me
How could you
Betray me
And take my heart back through that door
Oh mirror
Please tell me
We both deserve so much more
How could you
Oh mirror
What pleases you keeps hurting me
Tell me mirror
Oh oh oh
How could you
Oh mirror
What pleases you keeps hurting me
Tell me mirror
The song "Mirror" by KeKe Wyatt is a heartbreaking ballad about a woman confronting her own reflection in the mirror. She asks the mirror to tell her what it sees inside her, as they had both agreed to move on from a past relationship that left her hurt and betrayed. But now, the mirror seems to be luring her back into the pain and the memories she had worked hard to leave behind.
The singer is completely devastated by the betrayal of someone she loved and trusted, and now she feels confused and lost. She cannot comprehend why the mirror is tempting her to go back to the past when they both know that they deserve so much more. She pleads with the mirror to reveal the truth behind its motives that are causing her so much pain.
The repeated phrase, "How could you?" in the chorus exudes the singer's anguish and anger towards herself and the mirror for not being able to resist the temptation to go back. The ending of the song suggests a sense of empowerment as the singer acknowledges that they need to move forward and let go of the past to allow new love to find them.

Look me in my eyes mirror
I want to see my reflection in you so that I can confront myself
'Cause I've seen that look before
I recognize the pain I feel in my own reflection
Tell me what's inside mirror
Reveal to me the truth of what's really causing my distress
'Cause we both agreed no more
Because we aren't going to let our pain get the best of us anymore
We were so close to getting over him
We almost moved on from our ex
Now you're telling me we're going back again in
I'm seeing myself fall back into the same patterns with my ex
How could you
Why did you let me fall back into this trap?
Betray me
You let me down by not helping me move on
And take my heart back through that door
You made me vulnerable to the pain of my past again
Oh mirror
I'm talking to myself through you
Please tell me
Give me the answers I need
We both deserve so much more
We need to break this cycle and find happiness
What pleases you is hurting me
I'm not making the right choices for myself

Can't believe the things he said
I'm struggling to accept the reality of my ex's actions
See through his disguise
I need to stop being blinded by what I want to see in him
Come with me, let's run away
I need to escape this toxic situation
There's no way new love can find us
We're too stuck in the past to move forward
If we keep looking behind us
If we can't let go of our exes and our pain
No more heartache
We need to break the cycle of pain and suffering
That ain't the way loves supposed to be
We need to learn how to love ourselves and others in a healthy way
So this time mirror
I'm determined to break free from the past
Listen to me
I'm taking control and making the right choices for myself
What pleases you keeps hurting me
I need to prioritize my own needs and not take pleasure in self-destructive behavior
Oh oh oh
Expressing the pain and frustration of being stuck in a cycle of hurt
