When you look in the mirror
Do you ever see me
Like I see you, all the time
When you wake from dreaming
Do you ever miss me
Like I miss you, all the time
All the time

There’s always a moment when I’ve picked up the phone
To dial your number, voice broken
And my breathing’s put on hold
I know how this plays out
I’ll hear a distant tone
And I’ll leave my words for you

When you watch your children
Do you ever see us
Like we were once, in another time
When you cry for what was
Do you ever miss the understanding
Borne of sharing storylines
Like I do all the time

There’s always a moment when I question the sense
In dialing your number, heart open
And braced for the worst
I call though it hurts
What else is left to lose?
And I’ll leave my words for you
I’ll leave my words for you

When you look in the mirror
Do you ever see me
Like I see you?
