Mirror

(album: Growing Pains - 2007)

[Eve:]
I used to give you too much power
Trust me, them days is over
Can't understand how I
Let you sit on my shoulders
Them times when you messed up
I made excuses for
And I always knew it, that I should have headed for the door
But I stayed and you played the right way in your place
And I prayed every time you was away you'd see my face
But the me was you, and your pain was mine
And the same situation playing over in my mind
It seems

[Mary J. Blige:]
Ain't tryna hear you
Just tryna hear me
Don't wanna hear nothing, baby, it's selfishly
I blaming you for the hurt in me, but it's not your fault that
I'm so incomplete

It see every time I do it do it I seem to ruin
Got this funny way of falling in love (Falling in love)
And it's affecting how I'm breathing
Affecting how I'm eating
Seems like I'm all up on drugs
So beg you my pardon, loving you is hardest
And I can't take no more
I'm looking for the problem
Standing over the sink
One thing I found is

I had to take a look in the mirror (Mirror)
Take a look in the mirror (Mirror)
Take a look in the mirror (Mirror)
Ayy, see, I can't leave you until I learn to leave me
Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me me

What was I thinking?
That you could talk to me like that
You was holding me down, but I was holding me back
Looking inside myself, and has to see who I am
'Cause this is my trial, affecting my smile
I gotta walk it out, it's gonna be a while

It see every time I do it do it I seem to ruin
Got this funny way of falling in love
And it's affecting how I'm breathing
Affecting how I'm eating
Seems like I'm all up on drugs
So beg you my pardon, loving you is hardest
And I can't take no more (Take no more)
I'm looking for the problem
Standing over the sink
One thing I found is

I had to take a look in the mirror (Mirror)
Take a look in the mirror (Mirror)
Take a look in the mirror (Mirror)
Ayy, see, I can't leave you until I learn to leave me
Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me me

[Eve & (Mary J. Blige):]
Everything I thought I knew
All them times I ran away
It seems really I was running from me (Running from me)
I know constantly we tried, we was living in a lie
Finally looked into mirror to see (Mirror to see)
Probably would have left you sooner, but I was being scared
And that ain't how I ever should be (Never should be)
Yeah, I was searching for a while for the source of the problem
One thing I found is

[Mary J. Blige:]
I had to take a look in the mirror (Mirror)
Take a look in the mirror (Mirror)
Take a look in the mirror (Mirror)
Ayy, see, I can't leave you until I learn to leave me
Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me me

Take a look in the mirror (Take a look in the mirror)
Take a look in the mirror (Oh oh)
