Mirror
Ellie Goulding · Other Songs - Ellie Goulding
I look in the mirror
I can't get over you
Is this our world?
Is it someone else?
Is it someone else?
I look in the mirror
And I try to see myself
Wherever look terror
From the games I played so well
I try to see clearer
I try to forget the thoughts I started
I try to be nearer
To where you are
To where you are
Are we star crossed lovers?
Did I really want you gone?
If I'm really a winner
Where do these demons come from?
I was the girl who was on fire
I was the girl who was on fire
Only a bird could get much higher
(I look in the mirror)
'Cuz I was the girl who was on fire
I look in the mirror
And I try to understand
And piece it together
Watch the blood from both my hands
I can't see the ending
There are people who know my every secret
I'm tired of pretending
You read my heart
You read my heart
Are we star crossed lovers?
Did I really want you gone?
If I'm really a winner
Where do these demons come from?
I was the girl who was on fire
I was the girl who was on fire
Only a bird could get much higher
(I look in the mirror)
'Cuz I was the girl who was on fire
