Mirrors
Mrs Bubbles Lyrics

When will you leave?
Repeated line questioning when the person addressed will depart

Your eyes make me aware of all these sided looks
The eyes of the person being addressed draw attention to the negative opinions of others

They used to tell me that you were a piece of shit
Others previously spoke poorly of the person being addressed

Now they say you’re a piece of meat
Others now view the person being addressed as an object to be used rather than respected

Your heart can never beat to the rhythm it should
The person being addressed is incapable of love

You know I tried to mend it but it kept bleeding
Attempts to heal the person being addressed's emotional wounds were unsuccessful

And the almond that’s up there kept on frenzying
The person being addressed's mind is agitated and anxious

And all they see is you, it’s all that ever matters
The attention of others is exclusively focused on the person being addressed

And all they see is you, it’s all they can remember
Others' memories are dominated by the presence of the person being addressed

Your mouth can never speak the mind I’d like to share
The thoughts and opinions of the person being addressed do not align with those being addressed to them

You think nobody wants to listen to your voice
The person being addressed believes their contributions are not valued

So you keep me in background noise
The person being addressed does not allow for the person speaking to be heard

Your brain is creating the scars of all the things we lived
The person being addressed's thoughts and memories of past experiences negatively impact their current behavior

You make me keep all the weight of the lonely jail
The person being addressed burdens the singer with their emotional baggage

No matter how much I strive you make sure I fail
The person being addressed discourages and impedes the efforts of the person speaking

Sometimes I look in the mirror and all I see is you
The person being addressed dominates the artist's thoughts and self-perception

Trying to fathom who hides behind those eyes too
The artist wonders about the true identity and motivations of the person being addressed

I know we belong together
Repeated line expressing a desire to continue the relationship

It’s not that I don’t love you
The singer's desire to leave the relationship is not caused by a lack of love

But I hate believing that they do
The artist dislikes feeling as if others control their thoughts and feelings about the relationship

Free me and I will become true
The artist must be released from the constraints of the relationship to be authentic

Let them see what’s inside of you
The person being addressed should reveal their true self to others

Fade away and let me get through
The person being addressed should distance themselves to allow the singer to move on

So they know the me beyond you
Others should recognize the artist as an individual apart from their relationship with the person being addressed

Hand in hand against the scary crew
The singer and the person being addressed should face their obstacles together

But don’t let them forget about you
The person being addressed should not allow others' attention to be directed solely at the singer

I know I’m nothing without you
The singer feels lost and incomplete without the person being addressed

So stay longer I am begging you
The artist pleads for the person being addressed not to leave

Til the end of time
The desire for a permanent, eternal connection
