the way the mirror lies

Do you notice the way the mirror lies
cause I do, and it hurts
 do you see the way it flips things
cause I do and its strange
do you hear the way it laughs
cause it echo's in my mind
do you feel the way it watches
living off the pain you hide
do you feel the warm rain
 that pours from up above
do you feel the same way I do
when the mirror lies

There are times I can feel beautiful
rare and blissful times
when i can see me in the mirror
and the mirror doesn't lie
and my smile does not repulse me
the way it always does
and I can hold my head up high
be happy just because.

Maybe i should record these times
with a picture or in words
or perhaps I should just leave them
a memory just for me
true feeling lost in time
ruined by the mirrors lies.
