[Intro]
Yeah (Echo 6x)
[Chorus 1]
Everything will change
I see it getting clearer
I only see the truth
When I look up in the mirror
My faults, I'm no saint
My flaws, I'm a sinner
But who am I to blame,
When I look up in the mirror?
[Verse 1 - Man's Perspective]
See my reflection, I don't see a man
Cause girl you deprived everything holy in my hand
Stripped my life bare, my soul tarnished
Swore that you'd be there, I see you broke a promise
Funny how they say, "In sickness and in health,"
Cause girl, I only see sickness up in you
Find some help!
I'm sorry if I wronged you, 'pologize to your mom too
And girl, speaking on the past ain't my strong suit
But, back in the day
Wasn't havin' my way
Success I could taste it
I put the food up on my plate
And there you were saying that you were gonna be there 'till the end
But, when money started rollin' in
It was hard to get a grip
I swear you changed, like you're not the same person
Relationship in shambles, now I ask you, "Was it worth it?"
I don't mean to be aggressive, that's how I speak the truth
Just know I'd rather die than see you with some other dude
So, know I'll never leave you and never let you go, OH!
You're like a needle that's piercing through my soul, OH!
Seeing unhappy people and I don't want that no more
My thoughts might be deceiving but, I'll never let you go
I'll never let you go
[Bridge]
Everything will change
I see it getting clearer
I only see the truth
When I look up in the mirror
[Verse 2 - Girl's Perspective]
I see my reflection, a woman weakened
Try to get my point across, know what I'm feelin'?
Frustration I'm concealing, patience I'm revealing
To wait for the day this lesion starts healing
Can't believe it, the fact that its been four or five years
You were grinding so hard
Both my eyes tear
But, I'm the one who changed?
Accusations degrading
And boy you know there;s facts that needing some rearranging
The truth? I'm through
My hearts, been bruised
Thinking narrow minded, know the meaning of abuse?
Yeah, convincing yourself that you're a nice man
'Cause love and affection is shown by throwing right hands
And lefts, and hooks, to test your every look
The word aggressive is understated in like every book
And I'm at fault?
Well I guess so 'cause love is such a trap
The fool that gets done dirty and keeps on running back
[Chorus 2]
Everything will change (Everything will changeeeee)
I see it getting clearer
I only see the truth (Only see the truth)
When I look up in the mirror (Only see the truth)
My thoughts, I'm no saint
My flaws, I'm a sinner
But, who am I to blame, when I look up in the mirror?
[Verse 3 - The Truth]
Never seen a story so sad
Drawing up events, a romance that never adds
Ending with a conclusion you'd say was so tragic
In between events had a taste of climactic
Lover boy was raised as aggressive as can be
She never knew what it meant to live truly free
To wake up in the morning , thank god for the day
Live a secure life, don't care what them people say
To meet the one and only they'd truly call bae
And to truly understand that freedoms around the way
Before I end this song, message to all my John's
Really smell the flowers before they're withered and gone
To never say "I can't," to do what feels right
To tell certain people how much you want them in your life
Peace!
