a mirror is harder to hold

you could stay awhile longer, we could stay up and talk about last summer, we could go down to the water, watch the sunset going under, it's not that i'm a stranger to lonely moments, i've had my share of those, please don't go, please don't leave me alone, a mirror's so much harder to hold, i could try and point the finger, but the glass points in my direction, sure you've got your sharp edges, but my wounds are from my own reflection, you've got nothing i could ever hold against you, i got fatal flaws to call my own, please don't go, please don't leave me alone, a mirror is so much harder to hold, i met a man who's looking for perfection, said he never met a girl who's good enough, his eyes are getting old, like they'd love to love again, such a lonely man, such a lonely man, i see him in my reflection, taking steps towards me these days, so i hold you that much closer, and pray we don't throw this away, it's not that i'm a man who couldn't love you, i know what these arms are for, please don't go, please don't leave me alone, a mirror is so much harder to hold, please don't go, please don't leave me cold, a mirror is so much harder to hold
