If you could only see yourself through my eyes.
If you could only use my arms
  to know what it's like just to hold you tight.
If you could only use my heart
  to feel all the love that I have inside.
If you could only see yourself through my eyes.

    You look into the mirror,
      that old familiar glass
    But it never shows reality;
      it only shows the past.

    You look at your reflection
      and all that you can see
    Are scars and imperfections
      and all you used to be.

          Oh, no, no, no, no, oh, your mirror lies.
          Know, know, know, know, know that your mirror lies.

Cuz if you could only see yourself through my eyes.
If you could only use my arms
  to know what it's like just to hold you tight.
If you could only use my heart
  to feel all the love that I have inside.
If you could only see yourself through my eyes.

    And someday in the future,
      when you see yourself today,
    What wisdom would you have to share?
      I wonder what you'd say.

    Would you say "These days are precious,
      don't let them slip away,
    Cuz someday you'll be missing,
      all you had today"?

          Oh, no, no, no, no, oh, your mirror lies.
          Know, know, know, know, know that your mirror lies.

And if you could only see yourself through my eyes.
If you could only use my arms
  to know what it's like just to hold you tight.
If you could only use my heart
  to feel all the love that I have inside.
If you could only see yourself through my eyes.

    Don't focus on the changes,
      don't turn away from me,
    'Cuz I love you for tomorrow
      and all that we will be.

    So put away your mirror
      and look into my heart
    And try to glimpse the future
      and who you really are.

          Oh, no, no, no, no, oh, your mirror lies.
          Know, know, know, know, know that your mirror lies.
