'Mirror' as written by Dwayne Carter, Ramon Owen, Philip Lawrence and Bruno Mars..

With everything happening today
You don't know whether you're coming or going
But you think that you're on your way
Life lined up on the mirror don't blow it
Look at me when I'm talkin' to you
You looking at me but I'm lookin' through you
I see the blood in your eyes
I see the love in disguise
I see the pain hidden in your pride
I see you're not satisfied
And I don't see nobody else
I see myself I'm looking at the
Mirror on the wall, here we are again
Through my rise and fall
You've been my only friend
You told me that they can understand the man I am
So why are we here talkin' to each other again
Uh, I see the truth in your lies
I see nobody by your side
But I'm with you when you re all alone
And you correct me when I'm lookin' wrong
I see that guilt beneath the shame
I see your soul through your window pain
I see the scars that remain
I see you Wayne, I'm lookin' at the
Mirror on the wall, here we are again
Through my rise and fall
You've been my only friend
You told me that they can understand the man I am
So why are we here talkin' to each other again
Lookin' at me now I can see my past
Damn I look just like my fuckin' dad
Light it up, that's smoke at mirrors
I even look good in the broken mirror
I see my momma smile that's a blessin'
I see the change, I see the message
And no message could been any clearer
So I'm starting with the man in the
Mirror on the wall, (MJ taught me that)
Here we are again
Through my rise and fall
You've been my only friend (take them to mars man)
You told me that they can understand the man I am
So why are we here talkin' to each other again
Uh
Mirror on the wall, here we are again
Through my rise and fall
You've been my only friend
You told me that they can understand the man I am
So why are we here talkin' to each other again
Mirror on the wall
Hey BP, looks like I did take 'em to mars this time
So why are we talkin' to each other again

I've been a liar, been a thief

All my sins need holy water, feel it washing over me

Well, little one, I don't want to admit to something

Truth and my lies right now are falling like the rain

He's comin' home with his neck scratched, to catch flack

On his breath's Jack, he's a sex addict

It's a chess match, she's on his back like a jet-pack

And guess who just happens to be movin' on to the next

Actually, just shit on my last chick and she has what my ex lacks

And you don't fuck with no man's girl, even I know that

But she's devised some plan to stab him in the back

Knife in hand, says their relationship's hangin' by a strand

Says maybe she'll be my Gwen Stacy, to spite her man

And I know she's using me to try to play him, I don't care

After the first night, but tonight I am

I've been a liar, been a thief

All my sins need holy water, feel it washing over me

Well, little one, I don't want to admit to something

The truth and my lies now are falling like the rain

A one-night stand turned a two-night stand

It was 'come sunlight, scram,' now we hug tight, and..

'Cause he left, so what? He did it first to her too

Now how am I supposed to tell this girl that we're through?

It's hard to find the words, I'm aloof, nervous, and Sue

Don't want this to hurt, but what you deserve is the truth

Don't take it personal, I just can't say this in person to you

So I revert to the studio, like hole-in-the-wall diners

I just feel like the person who I'm turning into's

Irreversible, I preyed on you like it's church at the pew

Took advantage in my thirst to pursue

Get on my soapbox and preach, my sermon and speech

'Cause now with her in the womb

To use protection 'fore I bit into your forbidden fruit

I've been a liar, been a thief

All my sins need holy water, feel it washing over me

Well, little one, I don't want to admit to something

The truth and my lies now are falling like the rain

My name's (ooh), my name's (ooh)

Call me (ooh), call me (ooh)

Always the bridesmaid, never 'The bride, hey!'

And deceit was an enclave, I'd be swerving in five lanes

Speeds at a high rate, like I'm slidin' on ice, maybe

I can't keep my lies straight

This love triangle left us in a wreck, tangled

Bet I really woulda loved your smile

What's one more lie, to tell our unborn child?

I've been a liar, been a thief

All my sins need holy water, feel it washing over me

I don't want to admit to something (I fucked up)

The truth and my lies now are falling like the rain
