a mirror is harder to hold

You could stay a while longer
we could stay up and talk about
last summer
we could go down to the water
watch the sunset going under

It?s not that I?m a stranger
to lonely moments
I?ve had my share of those

Please don?t go
Please don?t leave me alone
A mirror?s so much harder to hold

I could try and point the finger
but the glass points in my direction
sure, you got your sharp edges
but my wounds are from my own
reflection

You?ve got nothing I could ever hold
against you
I got fatal flaws to call my own

Please don?t go, Please don?t leave me
alone
A mirror?s so much harder to hold

I met a man who?s looking for
perfection
Said he never met a girl who?s
good enough
his eyes are getting old
like they?d love to love again
Such a lonely man
Such a lonely man

I see him in my reflection
taking steps towards me these days
So I hold you that much closer
and pray we don?t throw this
away

It?s not that
I?m a man
who couldn?t love you
I know what these arms are for

Please don?t go
Please don?t leave me alone
A mirror is harder to hold
Please don?t leave me cold
A mirror is harder to hold
