Red-Eyed Face in the Mirror

Hey there red-eyed face in the mirror*
Now what do you have to say?
The sun has come up and she stood you up
It ain’t been your night and it don’t look to be your day
But you’ll say it’s no fault of your own
And you’re better off letting her go.
And before you turn away, the things you
don’t say will be the thoughts that you’ll
carry deep in your heart long after she’s forgotten you.
Hey there tired old face in the mirror
There ain’t no way you’re getting 'round
You broke every rule and that girl played you a fool
She said that she wanted you in a sweet voice
that haunted you and before it ever started she told you that you were all
through.
But you’ll say that was a lie
Cause she had a thing for you all along
You wrote her a song and that girl sang along
On a night just like last night and it felt all right till the words you had
just wouldn’t come.
But you’ll say, you don’t understand
She really meant every word that she said.
You’re not being fair, you weren’t even there when she said
all those things that made my heart sing and got me staying up
late and playing my songs and feeling this way at the dawn.
