lyrics
On Reflection
On reflection, I always knew I wouldn't find my way
On reflection, never was a truer word, you'd say
On reflection, I'd really have to fight to make you stay
On reflection, burning your bridges was the cruellest way
On reflection, cutting those ties 'cause they wear you away
Hear the words behind the lies, where do I begin?
Well you're cutting your ties 'cause they're wearing you thin
I think the ties that bind might be the original sin
So, I close my eyes and then I can't complain
On reflection...there's nothing to gain
On reflection...
It's a no brainer game I'll lose
I don't believe I ever had the chance to choose
When you blow my mind, there's no place to hide
Force me to loosen my grip on my pride
There's a time and a place to stare at the mirror
There's a likelier case that couldn't be clearer
What's this game you play where I'm a beginner?
Don't you know my lights are growing dimmer?
That reflection of you is growing dimmer
On reflection, I always knew I wouldn't find my way
On reflection, never was a truer word, you'd say
On reflection, I'd really have to fight to make you stay
On reflection, burning your bridges was the cruellest way
On reflection, cutting those ties 'cause they wear you away
Hear the words behind the lies, where do I begin?
Well you're cutting your ties 'cause they're wearing you thin
I think the ties that bind might be the original sin
So, I close my eyes and then I can't complain
On reflection...there's nothing to gain
On reflection...
It's a no brainer game I'll lose
I don't believe I ever had the chance to choose
When you blow my mind, there's no place to hide
Force me to loosen my grip on my pride
There's a time and a place to stare at the mirror
There's a likelier case that couldn't be clearer
What's this game you play where I'm a beginner?
Don't you know my lights are growing dimmer?
That reflection of you is growing dimmer
