_{Your long lost father passed you a sheet,
tiny and shiny, reflective and glass,
and you fell in love with the face that stared back.

what can I say,
what a horrible fate...

You carried it everywhere,
the frame became bare,
the glass became dirty,
the reflection was fogged.

what can I say,
what a horrible fate.

You washed it clean,
if you know what I mean,
and in front of your face,
your reflection was seen.

what can I say,
what horrible fate.

Your eyes gleam, your skin shone,
do not get me wrong,
you are beautiful, now listen to me,
I love you more than you will ever see.

what can I say,
what a horrible fate.

That glass is emotionless,
no tears may be shed,
but love, look back,
you're leaving me dead.

what can I say,
what a horrible fate.

I mean nothing, I know,
my attempts gone to waste,
Just look away from that mirror,
give me a solitary taste.
_{of that beautiful reflection.}

what can I say,
what a horrible fate.

Despite what I wish for,
I'm pretty much through,
I need to love someone,
even if it's not you,

what can I say,
you're losing, to that glass,
you had someone who loved you, _{[and still does]}
what a horrible fate.}
