Crack in the Mirror

INDIE ROCK 3:29

She rehearses apologies in the bathroom mirror at 2am, practicing the exact tone that won't sound desperate. Her reflection won't cooperate—it keeps showing her the version of herself she's been hiding, the one that needs help but never asks. By dawn, she's still standing there, lipstick bleeding into the edges, wondering if anyone would even recognize her if she finally told the truth.

Lyrics

Verse 1 I've been practicing your name in the dark Like a song I'm afraid to forget Lipstick bleeding at the bathroom sink Rehearsing the version of me you'd accept Chorus There's a crack in the mirror And I live on the other side You see the girl who's got it figured out But she's terrified There's a crack in the mirror And the light's pouring through I'm tired of pretending I don't look like this without you Verse 2 I swallow the words that could break us in half Keep my hands folded, keep my eyes down You touch my face like you're touching glass Afraid if you press too hard, I'll shatter to sound Chorus There's a crack in the mirror And I live on the other side You see the girl who's got it figured out But she's terrified There's a crack in the mirror And the light's pouring through I'm tired of pretending I don't look like this without you Bridge What if I stopped holding my breath? What if I let you see the mess? What if the thing you're most afraid of Is the thing that saves us both? Outro There's a crack in the mirror And I'm letting it show There's a crack in the mirror And I'm finally letting go
