Girl with the Crooked Mirror Songtext

von Paul Colman

I know a girl with a crooked mirror
She saw her face through the crooked lines
She said Mother you're my believer
Can you help me to see me a I really am?
Help me to see that beauty lies in me

So be my mirror and I'll see that beauty lies in me

She said ain't it a mystery that I can believe
In somebody else's beautiful dreams
But here in this mirror the image is broken
I wish I could swallow the love I receive

'Cause I can't believe that beauty lies in me

When your mirror's broken it only makes sense
To rely on opinions from others
Now this girl was lovely with beautiful features
But words like these they don't come from your friends
And her thoughts deceived her so she played follow the leader

And she said be my mirror and I'll see that beauty lies in me

He came along where she was weak he was strong
He took the mirror and he threw it down and whispered
Look at me I'll help you see the beauty I believe

She said be my mirror and I'll see that beauty lies in me

I know a girl with a beautiful family
And they're her mirror they shine like love
She's finding peace as a wife and a mother
This healing road that she's walking on
She sees her reflection in her young boys eyes

And she says be my mirror and I'll see that beauty lies in me
