Mirror Talk

[Verse 1] Six a.m. and the glass won't lie Steam still hangin' where I wiped it dry There's a voice that lives behind my eyes Countin' every crack, keepin' the tally high [Pre-Chorus] She says you're too much, you're never quite enough Same old sermon, harder than the water runnin' hot [Chorus] So I'm talkin' to the mirror again Two of me, and neither wants to win One keeps score, one just holds my hand Somewhere between 'em is a woman tryin' to stand (ooh, tryin' to stand) [Verse 2] Toothbrush trembles in a fist too tight Same tired face under this bathroom light But there's another voice, soft as morning gray Says the girl you're cursin' got you through yesterday [Pre-Chorus] She says lay the knife down, love, you've bled enough It ain't weakness, baby, learnin' how to soften up [Chorus] So I'm talkin' to the mirror again Two of me, and neither wants to win One keeps score, one just holds my hand Somewhere between 'em is a woman tryin' to stand (ooh, tryin' to stand) [Bridge] [soft] What if the kinder one is right? What if I've been fightin' the wrong fight? I fog the glass and draw a little heart Give the mean one one more mornin' off (let her rest, yeah) [Chorus] Still talkin' to the mirror again But today the gentle voice begins One let go, one held my hand And the woman in the glass — she finally stands (oh, she stands) [Outro] [whispered] Mornin', you Mornin', you It's okay We made it through
