A Mirror Is Harder to Hold - 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 goin' 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’ve 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’s so much harder to hold

Please don’t go, please don’t leave me cold

A mirror’s so much harder to hold
