Every Time I Look In Thee Mirror



Every Time I Look In Thee Mirror   

Every time I look in the mirror
I'm afraid of what I see
The image which is reflecting back
Bears no resemblance of me

Could it be my subconscious mind
Running along on its course
Trying to find the answers to
Some uncontrollable force

The truth of the matter is simple
When I get down to the fact
Every time I look in thee mirror
My heart knows it's you I lack
