words and music by Erin Main and Rick Paul
From the single Brand New Mirror
I saw myself in a broken mirror
All cracks and missing pieces
Just an image of my shattered self
My flaws and incompleteness
But you saw what I couldn’t see
Through my fractured youth
And I don’t know what I’d be
If it weren’t for you
Ooh, you
Your love was a brand new mirror
That showed me who I am
Soft and hard, smooth and sharp
Sometimes hard to understand
And I learned to see myself
Through reflections in your eyes
I am strong today
From your boundless faith
Through your knowing ways
You loved me as I am
It was you who first saw me
For who I am inside
The parts I never dared to see
The heart I tried to hide
But how could I deny
What you saw was me
When I looked in your eyes
You made me believe
Ooh, you
Your love was a brand new mirror
That showed me who I am
Soft and hard, smooth and sharp
Sometimes hard to understand
And I learned to see myself
Through reflections in your eyes
I am strong today
From your boundless faith
Through your knowing ways
You loved me as I am
You showed me strengths
Where I’d only seen weakness
Where I saw imperfections
You showed me uniqueness
You were the one who saw all I could be
It’s like you showed me me
Ooh, you
Your love was a brand new mirror
That showed me who I am
Soft and hard, smooth and sharp
Sometimes hard to understand
And I learned to see myself
Through reflections in your eyes
I am strong today
From your boundless faith
Through your knowing ways
You loved me as I am
Through your knowing ways
You loved me
As I am
