the mirror 2 — dbuck

Verse 1

Every time I look in the mirror
An old man takes my place
Lines I don’t remember carving
Etched across his face

Chorus

The years have left their markings
But they’ve given me their song
The mirror shows an old man
But he’s the one who’s carried on

Verse 2

I hear the voices of old friends
Calling from another place
The mirror shows a stranger now
But I still know each face

Chorus

The years have left their markings
But they’ve given me their song
The mirror shows an old man
But he’s the one who’s carried on

Bridge

Every scar is a chapter
Every wrinkle has a name
The mirror just reminds me
That nothing stays the same

Chorus

The years have left their markings
But they’ve given me their song
The mirror shows an old man
But he’s the one who’s carried on

Outro

Every time I face the mirror
I see time staring through
An old man and a younger soul
Learning how to share the view
