Mirror Mirror
Key Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

거울아
너를 마주할 때면
매번 난 답이 없어
하긴 뭘 기대 했어? Yeah
그래 거울아
어떤 표정도 싫어
부족함 뿐인 난데
애써도 못날 텐데

Ooh 널 보는 내 기분을 넌 알아야 해
Ooh 때론 날 좀 다르게 비췄어야 해
Ooh 초라한 내 걸음 얼굴 옷차림도
거짓으로 날 비춰줬어야 해

In the mirror
계속 바라보면 뭔가 달라질까
In the mirror
흐릿하게 보면 조금 나아질까
넌 완벽함을 찾고
난 부족함을 찾아
진실과 거짓 사이의 경계

Can I be new mirror, mirror
Mirror, mirror (du-du-du-du, du-du)
Can I be new Mirror, mirror
Mirror, mirror (du-du-du-du, du-du)

쟤를 봐 저 smile is perfect (smile)
나와 별반 다를 게 없는데
당당하면 안 되는 거잖아
난 또 거울 속 답을 묻겠지 (oh)
너의 beauty
한껏 취해
네 스스로 다 망가지고
불행해지기를

Ooh 널 보는 내 기분을 넌 알아야 해 (알아야 해)
Ooh 때론 날 좀 다르게 비췄어야 해 (ooh, yeah)
Ooh 겁이 없는 말투 몸짓 자신감도 (ayy, ayy, ayy)
원하는 대로 날 비춰줬어야 해 (In the mirror)

In the mirror
계속 바라보면 뭔가 달라질까
In the mirror (in the mirror, baby)
흐릿하게 보면 조금 나아질까 (ooh)
넌 완벽함을 찾고 (perfection)
난 부족함을 찾아 (ooh-whoa)
진실과 거짓 사이의 경계

Can I be new mirror, mirror (mirror, mirror, can I be new)
Mirror, mirror (In the mirror, mirror mirror)




Can I be new mirror, mirror (mirror mirror, mirror mirror)
Mirror, mirror (Can I be, can I be you?)
