lyrics

07 your wicked mirror

i remember the time
before you came around
i was doing fine
nothing was gettin' me down
but that was long ago
and those days are gone for good
they say you can't go home
but baby, if i could ...

i would take off my shoe
and shake the dust from the heel
don't blame me for the hard-headed things you've done

baby when we met
you were oh, so sweet
i was your loving pet
and you were mine completely
but when we wed
you changed the tune
you turned the chapel bells
into the chimes of doom

and you say it's all
because we lost the garden
don't blame me for the hard-headed things you've done

your wicked mirror
tells wicked lies
if it's not showing you what's right before my eyes
don't make me say it
i told you so
you took that inch as far as it can go

i know that i've been wrong before
but that don't make you right
Eve may have pulled the fruit from the tree
but Adam took the biggest bite

'til the sun is cold
and hell is freezing
don't blame me for the hard headed things you've done

well, i'm not in love,
but i love you still
and the crush is gone
now it's an act of will
i await the day
you become the man
who will respect himself
the way i know you can

everybody knows who caused the trouble that we're in
don't blame me for the hard-head things you've done

your wicked mirror
tells wicked lies
if it's not showing you what's right before my eyes
don't make me say it
i told you so
you took that inch as far as it can go
