My Mirror

When I feel your eyes on me I fall to my knees And I wait for your look to judge and define me I'm just a thin shell breaking in your palm Starving for substance, identity I am not afraid of this act of mutual creation I take from you as you take from me Like nervous hands reaching out for each other Your eyes can tell no lies, I am what you see You're my mirror Everything I do I see in you You're my mirror In your eyes I hide You're my mirror What you see is what you're giving me You're my mirror In your eyes As I turn around to leave, still in your spell I catch a glimpse of my reflection in the window by your bed What an odd surprise to bump into myself like this I can see right through myself to the flowers on your lawn And the empty space before me swallows everything you give I turn back to your look to find peace in your eyes I'm nothing without you, I'm hollow without you You're my mirror Everything I do I see in you You're my mirror In your eyes I hide You're my mirror What you see is what you're giving me You're my mirror It's in your eyes I find in his look an insecurity childishly submissive I say foolish things I do strange things for attention He finds within me some kind of unfamiliar hardness He sees both the child and the cynic Everyhing I hold inside of me Everything I'm hoping I can be You're my mirror Everything I do I see in you You're my mirror In your eyes I hide You're my mirror What you see is what you're giving me You're my mirror It's in your eyes
