Looking-Glass Waltz

Looking-Glass Waltz

VERSE
I carry a looking-glass with me
I swallowed it in whole
It's taking me to and fro

I carry a mirror inside me
Now I see myself as a foe
To my endeavours, to being free

CHORUS
I used to be calm
Oh, I used to be safe
We used to be friends
And we had it O.K.'d
I've sentenced myself to a
Lover's disgrace
I strive to be happy
But I must see your face
It takes a lil' patience,
I hope that's the case

Now I carry a looking-glass with me
See, you are the cause
For me to be

VERSE
I carry a mirror inside me
I yearn for a metaphor
But then again, what for?

I carry a looking-glass with me
And when I take a look, it hurts
It's you whom my mirror prefers

CHORUS
I used to be free
Oh I used to feel live
We used to be normal
And I wasn't shy

Now I carry a looking-glass with me
See, you are the cause
For me to be

I used to be calm
Oh, I used to be safe
We used to be friends
And we had it O.K.'d
I sentenced myself to a
Lover's disgrace
I strive to be happy
But I must see your face
It takes a lil' patience,
I hope that's the case

Now I carry a looking-glass with me
See, you are the cause
For me to be
