A Mirror Is Harder to Hold
You could stay a while longer
We could stay up and talk about last summer
We could go down to the water, watch the sunset goin’ under
Its not that I’m a stranger to lonely moments
I’ve had my share of those
Please don’t go please don’t leave me alone
A mirror is so much harder to hold
I could try to point a finger
But the glass points in my direction
Sure you’ve got your sharp edges but my wounds are from my own reflection
You’ve got nothing I could ever hold against you
Ive got fatal flaws to call my own
Please don’t go, please don’t leave me alone
A mirror’s so much harder to hold
I met a man who was looking for perfection
Said he’d never met a girl who was good enough
His eyes are getting old like they’d love to love again
Such a lonely man
Such a lonely man
I see him in my reflection taking steps toward me these days
So I hold you that much closer and pray we don’t throw this away
It’s not that I’m a man who couldn’t love you
I know what these arms are for
Please don’t go please don’t leave me alone
A mirror’s so much harder to hold
A mirror’s so much harder to hold
Please don’t go please, don’t leave me cold
A mirror’s so much harder to hold
Jon Foreman, goodness. What talent! It's kind of... strange to hear him in this style of music, after so many years as SWITCHFOOT. It's just... different. But he's still one of my favorites. Amazing guy.
ReplyDeleteI really love the lyrics of this song. They speak something so deep that I really needed to hear.
ReplyDeleteI know personally, I’ve been one to pursue independence as if deep friendship and romance were signs of a form of weakness or a flaw. In a sense, yes but it is a beautiful weakness; a necessary vulnerability because the alternative is deadly. The alternative is not worth it; it is not enough; it is not complete.
Genesis 1:20(AMP) And Adam gave names to all the livestock and to the birds of the air and to every [wild] beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found a helper meet (suitable, adapted, complementary) for him.
