Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
Do you think I'm gonna take on
Every single thing you say
If you go with my reputation
I'll only do it my way
[Verse 2]
So many things that have changed
What I am is to be real
I just reflect the way I feel
And now I'm strong enough to break from these chains
[Pre-Chorus]
I need to know what you want
It can never let me down
[Chorus 1]
Will you be my mirror man
Trying understand the rest you can
If you'll be my mirror man
Reflecting my ambition
[Chorus 2]
When you're my mirror man
And all is lost and left behind
But If I told the same
Let me explain
You're the man in the mirror
The man in the mirror
[Verse 3]
I listen to the words that I’ve spoken
The same old voices every day
Even thought I've been battered and broken
I'll never throw it away
[Verse 4]
You’re like the blood in my veins
Don't try to move me in two
So [?] better something I won't do
I can guarantee I'll stay the same
[Pre-Chorus]
So believe in me and what you see
I'm never gonna let you down
[Chorus 1]
Will you be my mirror man
Trying understand the rest you can
If you'll be my mirror man
Reflecting my ambition
[Chorus 2]
When you're my mirror man
And all is lost and left behind
But If I told the same
Let me explain
You're the man in the mirror
The man in the mirror
[Pre-Chorus]
I need to know what you want
It can never let me down
[Chorus 1]
Will you be my mirror man
Trying understand the rest you can
If you'll be my mirror man
Reflecting my ambition
[Chorus 2]
When you're my mirror man
And all is lost and left behind
But If I told the same
Let me explain
You're the man in the mirror
[Outro]
Will you be my mirror man
Trying understand the rest you can (The man in the mirror)
If you'll be my mirror man
Reflecting my ambition
[Outro]
Will you be my mirror man
Trying understand the rest you can (You're the man in the mirror)
If you'll be my mirror man
Reflecting my ambition
