Raul Midón - The Mirror

So you think you don't need me anymore
They say I'm no longer what you're looking for
All your so-called friends are just means to an end
You're losing the battle to win a war

But I'm holding up a mirror
Do you like what you see?
Cuz I'm holding up a mirror
So you can see what you look like to me

Raw ambition is a mother, though
It can steal away your heart and soul
Make you sell out the people that you used to know
So you can get to the place where you think you wanna go

But I'm holding up a mirror
Do you like what you see?
Cuz I'm holding up a mirror
So you can see what you look like to me

Now I have been down the road you're on
Craving fortune and fame
A shooting star, then the moment's gone
And everyone forgets your name
Forget it, forget it

A lesson lived is a lesson learned
Music suffers as the system turns
Your heartfelt expression into a deal for a fee
But you better keep it coming
Cuz they get it all for free

And I'm holding up a mirror
Do you like what you see?
Yes, I'm holding up a mirror
So you can see what you look like to me

Yes, I'm holding up a mirror
Do you like what you see?
Now I'm holding up a mirror
So you can see what you look like to me
