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
