Mirror Man

Lyrics

[INTRO] Breath on the glass Who is that? Eyes like mine Heart off track [VERSE 1] Toothbrush, same cup by the sink Same ring on the finger, do I deserve it I think Little shoes by the door, mud on the mat Four chairs at the island, I’ve been ghosting all that She said, “You came to bed late, but your soul came later” Cold on the couch, blue glow from the data Scroll, scroll, scroll till the sky turns gray Kids up early, I’m still miles away Used to wake up with a plan, with a laugh, with a fight Now I wake up with a weight and a war in my eyes Every look from my son is a knife in my pride Every quiet from my girl is a storm I can’t hide [CHORUS] I don’t know that man in the mirror Got my face, but he looks like a stranger My wife misses the man I was My kids miss the dad they love By hell or high water, I swear I’m coming back to that stare I’ll break that glass if I have to ’Til the mirror man turns back into the truth (yeah) [VERSE 2] Morning coffee, the kettle’s hiss, I stare at the screen Pictures of the past flash, a ghost in between The hallway echoes with my footsteps, silent and thin I wonder if forgiveness can stitch the seams of this sin My daughter’s drawing on the fridge, crayons still wet She’s asking for the dad who used to be her net The phone’s ring, the silence, a promise left unkept I’m the man in the shadows, watching the life that I’ve slept [CHORUS] I don’t know that man in the mirror Got my face, but he looks like a stranger My wife misses the man I was My kids miss the dad they love By hell or high water, I swear I’m coming back to that stare I’ll break that glass if I have to ’Til the mirror man turns back into the truth (yeah) [BRIDGE] If I could rewind the clock, would I keep the same? Or would I find a different road
