You say you don't remember this thing she can't forget
You say that it's been too damn long
Time to bury the hatchet
And if it made a difference well you would say you're sorry
It really makes you wonder why you should even bother
There's a mirror in the house at the edge of town
There's a crack in the mirror
All fall down
She was just a baby (seems so long ago)
Left a little crazy (seems so long ago)
No one in that big, old house heard the baby cry
Hide your guilt in ignorance
Hide your guilt in ignorance
Hide your guilt in ignorance
No one has to lie
There's a mirror in the house at the edge of town
There's a crack in the mirror
All fall down
For ten long years he watched her grow
For ten long years he watched her
Nobody would ever know the places that he touched her
No one in her daddy's house heard her make a sound
Now there's
Blood on everybody's hands
Blood on everybody's hands
Blood on everybody's hands
(Gonna come around again)
There's a mirror in the house at the edge of town
There's a crack in the mirror
All fall...
Now you say don't remember
This thing she can't forget
You say that your life must go on
Time to bury the hatchet
And if she was so damned afraid
You're sure you would remember
Children will exaggerate
Children will exaggerate
Children will exaggerate
Children will exaggerate
There's a mirror in the house at the edge of town
There's a crack in the mirror (no one will find me)
There's a mirror in the house at the edge of town
There's a crack in the mirror (no one will find me)
All fall down
No one will find me
No one will find me
No one will find me
No one will find me
No one will find me
