Fousey - The Mirror - Spoken Word lyrics

[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!
