Love in the mirror

Liner Notes

Sorry about the length; if you don’t want to sit through it all you can just listen to a few minutes, I’d love some feedback!

Lyrics

Verse 1 I never thought I’d say it but I really did love you I really did believe That we could build something new I tried to look at others But it just brings me back to then And you all think that I look strong But I’m more than just a mess My guitar is slowly ringing out And it whispers a word The leather book in front of me It opens; thoughts a-surge We’re growing up too fast And the night is growing long And there’s nothing I can do Except sing some stupid song

Chorus She’s looking for love in another man While I’m looking for love in the mirror And you’d think that I’d have such a better plan But there’s nothing you can do but sing along

Verse 2 And the madman in me screams aloud He’s dropping down to his knees I’m standing there in my awkward pose Cause I’m no longer what you need There’s a rumble of innocence thats waiting to belong And the do of the night aglow He plays our special song

Chorus She’s looking for love in another man While I’m looking for love in the mirror And you’d think that I’d have such a better plan But there’s nothing you can do but sing along

Bridge Now I’ll walk home in the dead of night The stench of pure regret Like a lion without a pride to keep Like a bird without its nest Streaks of sorrow trapped in my head A can is kicking down the road Whoever wrote the love story Can eat a truckload

Verse 3 Fluorescent lights of lives lived lost The scream of love and fear This isn’t what I’m supposed to be why the —— am I still here I’ll get home and crawl into bed I’ll write the worst poem you’ve ever read So this is what it feels like to be dead I hum a dissonant tune

Chorus She’s looking for love in another man While I’m looking for love in the mirror And you’d think that I’d have such a better plan But there’s nothing you can do but sing along

Chorus She’s looking for love in another man While I’m looking for love in the mirror And you’d think that I’d have such a better plan But there’s nothing you can do but sing along

Lyrically, it has echoes of "Mr. Brightside" by The Killers. But I think you've captured the emotion in the music better. I like the different layers of guitar leads.
