  • Mirror, mirror
    Oh, oh ooh yeah, yeah

    From the very second I laid eyes on you
    In the mirror in that dressing room
    Seeing you with me, I finally knew the picture was complete
    I used to have my share of lonely days
    Beneath the make up and the darkest shades
    But baby since you came I know the meaning of true love again

    It's not the bags or the trips or the clothes
    It's not the fans or the sold-out shows
    It's the way that you see through my soul
    I'm so exposed

    When I look at myself in the mirror
    I don't have to feel ashamed
    Now it couldn't be much clearer
    I'll never have to search again

    When I look at myself in the mirror
    I don't even recognize
    The girl I'm about to glitter
    Cause now I sit by my side
    When I look at myself in the mirror

    No, nothing's ever gonna be the same
    Forget the fortune, you can keep the fame
    Baby if I had to choose, you know I'd trade it every time for you
    Cause this reflection that I'm staring at
    Is so amazing I can't turn my back
    And every time I look at you and me together, boy, I know the truth, oh

    It's not the bags or the trips or the clothes, no no no
    It's not the fans or the sold-out shows
    It's the way that you see through my soul
    I'm so exposed

    When I look at myself in the mirror
    I don't have to feel ashamed
    Now it couldn't be much clearer
    I'll never have to search again

    When I look at myself in the mirror
    I don't even recognize
    The girl I'm about to glitter
    Cause now I sit by my side
    When I look at myself in the mirror

    Now she's running from love
    That's all I'm guilty of
    And I don't have to search no more
    Found what I'm looking for
    In the mirror
    In the mirror

    When I look at myself in the mirror
    I don't have to feel ashamed
    Now it couldn't be much clearer
    I'll never have to search again

    When I look at myself in the mirror
    I don't even recognize
    The girl I'm about to glitter
    Cause now I sit by my side
    When I look at myself in the mirror

    Baby I see you
    Baby I see me
    Hope that we could be, forever
    In the mirror
    In the mirror

    Baby I see you
    Baby I see me
    Hope that we could be, forever
    In the mirror
