Because I was looking for something

and because you were there

I fooled myself into thinking

in thinking you could care

that's when you looked right through me

and I believed all of your lies

when the only part of me that you could love

was your reflection in my eyes



When you look in the mirror

you see what you want to see

when you look in the mirror

you look through me



You sure like to talk about yourself

and everything you do

but when you talk about someone else

it's how it pertains to you

you were so transparent

why wasn't I able to see

until you looked right through

and stripped a part of me



When you look in the mirror

you see what you want to see

when you look in the mirror

you look through me



You looked right through me

as though I wasn't there

in love with your own image

completely unaware

'cause boys who look right through me

and only like me for what I do

next time I'll be more careful

next time I'll look through you



When you look in the mirror

you see what you want to see

when you look in the mirror

you look through me
