SubRosa - The Mirror lyrics
[SubRosa - The Mirror lyrics]
I took the safe road, I took the easy road
It looked so safe and comforting
There wasn't any trouble as far
As I could see
Avoided the twisty road avoided the unknown
My daddy said that was the devil’s way
And God doesn't work in mystery noways
Though I keep on trying to believe that
There's an end to all this pain
I just keep moving on, I can’t
Stop to think too long, oh no
Though I keep on trying to believe that
There's a way to be set free
I just keep losin' hold of the
Things that once gave me relief
Got married in the winter
Gave birth in the summer
In five years' time, I had five young ones
But there was something missing
There was something wrong
One day my husband came back from town
Said honey, you better sit down
There's been another woman for all this time
She's my one true love
Can't get her from my mind
Now I break my back from the crack of dawn
It's midnight when I get home
There never seems to be enough to eat
And I listen to my children
Cry themselves to sleep
Though I keep on trying to believe that
There’s an end to all this pain
I just keep moving on, I can’t
Stop to think too long, oh no
Though I keep on trying to believe that
There's an end to all this pain
I just look in the mirror and I
Know I only have myself to blame
I took the safe road, I took the easy road
But, I learned there is no safety there
You gotta push against the
Current to get somewhere
It looked so safe and comforting
There wasn't any trouble as far
As I could see
Avoided the twisty road avoided the unknown
My daddy said that was the devil’s way
And God doesn't work in mystery noways
Though I keep on trying to believe that
There's an end to all this pain
I just keep moving on, I can’t
Stop to think too long, oh no
Though I keep on trying to believe that
There's a way to be set free
I just keep losin' hold of the
Things that once gave me relief
Got married in the winter
Gave birth in the summer
In five years' time, I had five young ones
But there was something missing
There was something wrong
One day my husband came back from town
Said honey, you better sit down
There's been another woman for all this time
She's my one true love
Can't get her from my mind
Now I break my back from the crack of dawn
It's midnight when I get home
There never seems to be enough to eat
And I listen to my children
Cry themselves to sleep
Though I keep on trying to believe that
There’s an end to all this pain
I just keep moving on, I can’t
Stop to think too long, oh no
Though I keep on trying to believe that
There's an end to all this pain
I just look in the mirror and I
Know I only have myself to blame
I took the safe road, I took the easy road
But, I learned there is no safety there
You gotta push against the
Current to get somewhere
