Tina Dickow - My Mirror lyrics

When I feel your eyes on me
I fall to my knees and I wait for your look
To judge and define me
I'm just a thin shell breaking in your palm
Starving for substance, identity
I am not afraid of this
Act of mutual creation
I take from you as you take from me
Like nervous hands reaching out
For each other
Your eyes can tell no lies, I am what you see

You're my mirror
Everything I do I see in you
You're my mirror in your eyes I hide
You're my mirror
What you see is what you're giving me
You're my mirror in your eyes

As I turn around to leave
Still in your spell


I catch a glimpse of my reflection
In the window by your bed
What an odd surprise to bump
Into myself like this
I can see right through myself to
The flowers on your lawn
And the empty space before me
Swallows everything you give
I turn back to your look to
Find peace in your eyes
I'm nothing without you
I'm hollow without you

You're my mirror
Everything I do I see in you
You're my mirror in your eyes I hide
You're my mirror
What you see is what you're giving me
You're my mirror it's in your eyes

I find in his look
An insecurity childishly submissive
I say foolish things I do
Strange things for attention
He finds within me some
Kind of unfamiliar hardness
He sees both the child and the cynic

Everyhing I hold inside of me
Everything I'm hoping I can be

You're my mirror
Everything I do I see in you
You're my mirror in your eyes I hide
You're my mirror
What you see is what you're giving me
You're my mirror it's in your eyes
