Lyrics
Verse 1
I woke one night and saw myself staring back at me,
But the face inside the mirror wasn’t who I used to be.
It smiled while I was breaking, it laughed while I was ill,
Living out a better life, while I was standing still.
Pre-Chorus
I touched the glass, it stayed so cold,
But somehow felt alive.
And I began to wonder if my world was just a lie.
Chorus
Who’s living on the other side?
Is that reflection truly mine?
It shines with hope I’ve been denied,
While I’m left with an empty life.
Is it a dream or just my mind?
A trick that I can’t fight?
When I look into the mirror now, I just want to cry
Who’s right, who’s wrong, who’s on the other side?
Verse 2
Each morning that reflection grew further out of reach,
It walked in crowded places, it stood where I can’t speak.
I watched it hold a future I never seem to find,
And I was stuck in silence, falling further behind.
Pre-Chorus
I knock the glass, it doesn’t break,
But something knocks inside.
And every time I see that grin, a piece of me has died.
Chorus
Who’s living on the other side?
Is that reflection truly mine?
It shines with hope I’ve been denied,
While I’m left with an empty life.
Is it a dream or just my mind?
A trick that I can’t fight?
When I look into the mirror now, I just want to cry
Who’s right, who’s wrong, who’s on the other side?
Bridge
Some nights the glass is moving, like a door that wants to open,
I hear a voice inside it, whisper words I’ve never spoken.
It tells me I could cross, it says I’ll finally belong,
But what if stepping over means I’ve been the copy all along?
Breakdown
Is my life the nightmare, is that life the truth?
Have I been the shadow, while the mirror kept the proof?
Tell me which one’s real, tell me which one lies,
Before I lose myself inside those unfamiliar eyes.
Final Chorus
Who’s living on the other side?
Is that reflection truly mine?
It walks the path I’ve been denied,
While I fade in borrowed time.
Is it a dream, or just a sign
That I’ve been split in two?
When I see that world, I can’t hold back the cry
Who’s right, who’s wrong, who’s on the other side?
Outro
Now I stand before the mirror, but I’m scared of what I’ll see,
Is it showing who I am, or who I’ll never be?
The glass won’t give an answer, no matter how I try,
It just leaves me with the question: who’s on the other side?
