Intro
( )
Verse 1
You could stay a while longer
We could stay up and talk about last summer
We could go down to the water
Watch the sunset going under
Pre-Chorus 1
It’s not that I’m a stranger to lonely moments
I’ve had my share of those
Chorus
Please don’t go
Please don’t leave me alone
( )
A mirror’s so much harder to hold
Verse 2
I could try and point the finger
But the glass points in my direction
( )
Sure, you got your sharp edges
But my wounds are from my own reflection
Pre-Chorus 2
You’ve got nothing I could ever hold against you
I got fatal flaws to call my own
Chorus
Bridge
I met a man who’s looking for perfection
Said he never met a girl who’s good enough
His eyes are getting old
Like they’d love to love again
(no5)
Such a lonely m---an
(no3)
Such a lonely man, eww eww eww
Verse 3
I see him in my reflection
( )
Taking steps towards me these days
So I hold you that much closer
And pray we don’t throw this away
Pre-Chorus 3
It’s not that I’m a man who couldn’t love you
I know what these arms are for
Chorus
Please don’t go
Please don’t leave me alone
A mirror’s so much harder to hold
A mirror’s so much harder to hold
( )
Please don't go
Please don’t leave me cold
( )
A mirror is harder to hold
