Mirror
Keys & Copper Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's always
So hard to look myself in the eye, in the eye
Said you shouldn't be with me and I'm sure
That you're right
I don't know where I'm headed to
But it'll be with someone new
Well, not just a friend
I guess we dated for a while, for a while
She was thinking of trying me out
One more time
I told her I was trying out a new thing
Trying to get married, maybe kids, maybe something
I never told you
What you did to me
The things I've been thinking about
So when you said you were leaving
I just kept my mouth shut
If you wanted out, then just get out
Well I was walking to the grocery store
Right on time
You passed me with your headphones on, and you were gone
Well I knew it was coming, but I thought I'd be the one
If I knew it was coming, how come I always come undone?
Yeah if I knew it was coming, how come I always come undone?
I never told you
What you did to me
The things I've been thinking about
So when you said you were leaving
I just kept my mouth shut
If you wanted out, then just get out
Oh, I never told you
What you did to me
The things I've been thinking about
So when you said you were leaving
Well I just kept my mouth shut
If you wanted out, then just get out
