Man in the Mirror

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I found your jacket on the kitchen chair Still holding dust from yesterday You said the problem followed everywhere But never asked what you became [Pre-Chorus] You point at every broken door Then wonder why your hands are sore [Chorus] You hit me in the man in the mirror But I’m the one who took the blow Every accusation getting clearer Every place I wouldn’t go If you want a different life to meet you Start with what you choose to hide You hit me in the man in the mirror Now I’m looking back with open eyes [Verse 2] The bathroom fan is running way too loud Your face is tired beneath the light You name the people who let you down Like that could make your story right [Pre-Chorus] The truth was waiting by the sink One honest breath before you blink [Chorus] You hit me in the man in the mirror But I’m the one who took the blow Every accusation getting clearer Every place I wouldn’t go If you want a different life to meet you Start with what you choose to hide You hit me in the man in the mirror Now I’m looking back with open eyes [Bridge] No more handing out the blame No more hiding from my name I can’t undo the words I threw But I can choose what I do [Final Chorus] I hit the man in the mirror And finally I understand The hardest fight was never with you It was learning who I am If I want a different life to meet me I have to step across that line I hit the man in the mirror Now I’m making peace with mine [Outro] Making peace with mine One honest breath at a time
