Have you ever met someone (not related to you) that is so similar to you that it scares you? Someone who shares the same personality, habits, mannerisms? If this happens what do you call that person? How about your human mirror?
I met my human mirror about two years ago. My feelings are still mixed about this man, kind of a love/hate relationship. Some days we could spend all day having a great time together and other days we couldn't stand each other. This is a song I wrote about that experience.
WHEN I LOOK AT YOU, I SEE ME
SCARY TO SEE YOURSELF
REFLECTED IN SOMEONE ELSE
WE ARE THE SAME, IN SO MANY WAYS
KNOWING YOU IS... KNOWING ME
BLIND IF YOU DON’T SEE
YOU ARE ME TO A "T"
~~Chorus~~
I SEE IN YOU THE THINGS I LOVE ABOUT ME
YOU WILL ALWAYS STAND OUT IN A CROWD
EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU IS LOUD AND PROUD
EVEN WHEN YOU ATTEMPT YOU CANNOT BLEND
CAST A SHADOW ON ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS
I SEE IN YOU THE THINGS I LOVE ABOUT ME
TO BE SURER, I GET NEARER
YOU ARE MY HUMAN MIRROR
AT FIRST, THRILLING TO DISCOVER
~~
OUR SIMILARITIES ARE CEASELESS
WORKED TO FIX OUR BROKEN PIECES
LEARNED WHO I AM EVALUATING YOU
NOW ENLIGHTENED, TO SELF BE TRUE
NOW BETTER PEOPLE, BRAND NEW
YOU CAN INFUSE A RAINY DAY WITH SUNSHINE
BUT I KNOW THE DARKNESS YOU HIDE INSIDE
YOU AND ME ARE ALWAYS APOLOGIZING
DONE NOTHING BUT GUILT IS RISING
IF A SOULS IN NEED OF A KIND DEED
WE GIVE THEM IT ALL UNTIL WE BLEED
SHOULD LEARN BUT NEVER TAKE HEED,
TOO NICE WE FALL VICTIM TO DECEPTION
~~Chorus~~
I SEE IN YOU THE THINGS I HATE ABOUT ME
YOU DO WHATEVER WITHOUT QUESTION
JUST EXPECTING EVERY ONE'S INGESTION
MOST SWALLOW IT HOOK, LINE AND SINKER
ALL WRAPPED UP ON YOUR LITTLE FINGER
I SEE IN YOU THE THINGS I HATE ABOUT ME
SELF-REFLECTION, WORSE THAN HORROR
YOU ARE MY HUMAN MIRROR
AT LAST, A NIGHTMARE TO BEHOLD
~~
GO AHEAD TRY TO CONCEAL YOUR TRUE SELF
HIDE YOURSELF FROM EVERYONE ELSE
STILL CAN'T HIDE FROM YOUR MIRROR
IT WILL ALWAYS REFLECT YOU BACK
TRY AS YOU MIGHT YOU CAN'T FOOL YOURSELF
LET THEM SAY YOU’RE NOT GOOD ENOUGH
DON’T BELIEVE IT, THEY CAN'T MEASURE UP
WHEN YOUR GAME OF CHARADES IS DONE
SEEK ME OUT, I WILL FORGIVE YOUR ERRORS
ABOVE ALL ELSE, I'LL LET YOU BE YOURSELF
MY HUMAN MIRROR, ISN'T IT ALL CLEARER
EVERY MIRROR, EVERY WINDOW OR PUDDLE
EVERY REFLECTION IT'S ME YOU SEE
I WILL REMIND YOU WITHOUT ANY TROUBLE
IT'S ME WHO KNOWS YOU LIKE NO ONE OTHER
