Lyrics:

[English]

With everything happening today

You dont know whether you're coming or going

But you think that you're on your way

Life lined up on the mirror dont blow it

Look at me when Im talkin to you

You looking at me but I'm lookin through you

I see the blood in your eyes

I see the love in disguise

I see the pain hidden in your pride

I see you're not satisfied

And I dont see nobody else

I see myself I'm looking at the

Mirror on the wall, here we are again

Through my rise and fall

You've been my only friend

You told me that they can understand the man I am

So why are we here talkin' to each other again

Uh, I see the truth in your lies

I see nobody by your side

but I'm with you when you re all alone

And you correct me when Im lookin wrong

I see that guilt beneath the shame

I see your soul through your window pain

I see the scars that remain

I see you Wayne, Im lookin at the.

Mirror on the wall, here we are again

Through my rise and fall

You've been my only friend

You told me that they can understand the man I am

So why are we here talkin' to each other again

Lookin at me now I can see my past

Damn I look just like my f-ckin dad

Light it up, thats smokin' mirrors

I even look good in the broken mirror

I see my momma smile thats a blessin

I see the change, I see the message

and no message could been any clearer

So I'm stared with the man in the...

Mirror on the wall (MJ taught me that)

Here we are again

Through my rise and fall

You've been my only friend (Take em to Mars, man)

You told me that they can understand the man I am

So why are we talkin' to each other again

...

Mirror on the wall, here we are again

Through my rise and fall

You've been my only friend

You told me that they can understand the man I am

So why are we here talkin' to each other again

Mirror on the wall...

(Hey B.P., looks like I did take em to Mars this time)

...

So why are we talkin to each other again

...
