09. A Mirror Is Harder To Hold

Limbs And Branches
by Jon Foreman



 

 

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

It’s not that I’m a stranger
to lonely moments
I’ve had my share of those

Please don’t go
Please don’t leave me alone
A mirror’s so much harder to hold

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

You’ve got nothing I could ever hold
against you
I got fatal flaws to call my own

Please don’t go, Please don’t leave me
alone
A mirror’s so much harder to hold

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
Such a lonely man
Such a lonely man

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

It’s not that
I’m a man
who couldn’t love you
I know what these arms are for

Please don’t go
Please don’t leave me alone
A mirror is harder to hold
Please don’t leave me cold
A mirror is harder to hold
