Mirror In The Dark Lyrics

wanted me to see you like a ghost
wanted me to break apart the love that comes close
so you could be alone ...
don't want me around / 'round / 'round

I want you to look into my face
and I want you to take apart this place
then, tell me everything that you've found / found / found
we are goin' down / down / down

I've tried pleasure, I've tried pain / it's all always
I've tried holding you again / it's all always
too much / you and me
we can learn to be still but we will always be broken

the finest words I ever wrote to you:
"I'm just a mirror in the dark / seeking out a long-lost look from you ..."
so I ... don't know how
how I let you down / down / down

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

The song's called "Mirror In The Dark". There are some distorted vocal parts so those are words I couldn't make out, but, otherwise:

wanted me to see you like a ghost wanted me to break apart the love that comes close so you could be alone ... don't want me around / 'round / 'round

I want you to look into my face and I want you to take apart this place then, tell me everything that you've found / found / found we are goin' down / down / down

I've tried pleasure, I've tried pain / it's all always I've tried holding you again / it's all always too much / you and me we can learn to be still but we will always be broken

the finest words I ever wrote to you: "I'm just a mirror in the dark / seeking out a long-lost look from you ..." so I ... don't know how how I let you down / down / down
