Title:
“Broken Mirror”
Lyrics:
(Verse 1 – Am, G, F, C)
This ain’t no fairytale, no glass shoe to fit,
In this broken mirror, we reflect a bit.
Our dreams lay scattered, like a puzzle incomplete,
Chasing shadows of love, on a dead-end street.
(Chorus – G, Am, F, C)
Broken mirror, shattered dreams,
In the chaos, do we scream?
Or do we gather the pieces and try again,
In this world of love and pain?
(Verse 2 – Am, G, F, C)
We danced with demons, under the pale moonlight,
In the silence of the night, we lost our fight.
But in this shattered reflection, we see a different view,
In the fragments of us, we find something true.
(Chorus – G, Am, F, C)
Broken mirror, shattered dreams,
In the chaos, do we scream?
Or do we gather the pieces and try again,
In this world of love and pain?
(Bridge – Em, Dm, G, Am)
In the ruins, we see a chance,
In the echoes, we find our dance.
In the shards of glass, a prism of light,
In the darkness, we hold each other tight.
(Chorus – G, Am, F, C)
Broken mirror, shattered dreams,
In the chaos, do we scream?
Or do we gather the pieces and try again,
In this world of love and pain?
