the mirror stares at me like i'm not there
like i'll be the one that'll leave
and for a moment i'll hope it comes true
because this life wasn't meant for me
and i'll reach for the girl who i can't touch
her world just seems so far away
but all i will touch is the large glass
and leave streaks that i hope will change me
'cuz i fell in this hole where i hate
i've wounded myself and you
little girl in the glass come teach me
how to make my eyes care-free too
so now the girl can see what i am
the tears clear the paint away
and unmask what i've tried so hard to keep
but you made me bare this day
and a thousand hands couln't reach me
and i've tried a thousand times to reach you
and the glass stops me from your world
my tears will never touch your hands
chorus:
i'm so broken
i'm so bare
i can't reach you
all i can do is stare/
little girl just stare
like i'll be the one that'll leave
and for a moment i'll hope it comes true
because this life wasn't meant for me
and i'll reach for the girl who i can't touch
her world just seems so far away
but all i will touch is the large glass
and leave streaks that i hope will change me
'cuz i fell in this hole where i hate
i've wounded myself and you
little girl in the glass come teach me
how to make my eyes care-free too
so now the girl can see what i am
the tears clear the paint away
and unmask what i've tried so hard to keep
but you made me bare this day
and a thousand hands couln't reach me
and i've tried a thousand times to reach you
and the glass stops me from your world
my tears will never touch your hands
chorus:
i'm so broken
i'm so bare
i can't reach you
all i can do is stare/
little girl just stare
