Jay Ducharme - Liar in the Mirror

Pretend that time has left your face alone
Pretend your skin retains its youthful tone
Pretend that your complexion
Is closer to perfection
Now you're old

Imagine that your hair is like the tide
Advancing and receding in your mind
Comb it very carefully
Pretending no one else will see you're old

Liar in the mirror
Is it all becoming clearer
Is that fear appearing
As the end approaches nearer
Or can't you just pretend
That your life will never end
Liar in the mirror

Pretend your back is straight, your shoulders square
Pretend that bulging waistline isn't there
Relax a little longer
You're not getting any stronger
Now you're old

Liar in the mirror
Is it all becoming clearer
Is that fear appearing
As the end approaches nearer
Or can't you just pretend
That your life will never end
Liar in the mirror

Can time be outrun
By pretending that you're young
Can't you face the truth
You no longer have your youth
Liar in the mirror

Pretend that no one knows your real age
Pretend you're not as old as people say
The only way to last
Is by hiding in the past
Now you're old

Liar in the mirror
Is it all becoming clearer
Do you stare in terror
As the end approaches nearer
Or can't you just pretend
That your life will never end
Liar in the mirror
