I saw it in the mirror
I saw it in my face
That I’m no longer needed
Anyone can take my place
I saw it in the mirror
When I looked into my eyes
‘Cause something sure is wrong
When this boy cries
This boy cries
I saw it in the mirror
My head is hanging low
And it ain’t too familiar
With the feelings that I show
I know you say you love me
But I’m looking through your lies
It doesn’t really bother you
If this boy cries
This boy cries
I never thought I could cry for you
But honey, I will miss you
‘Til the day I die
‘Til the day I die
I saw it in the mirror
I saw it in my face
That I’m no longer needed
Anyone can take my place
I saw it in the mirror
When I looked into my eyes
‘Cause something sure is wrong
When this boy cries
This boy cries
This boy cries
