On “Mirror,” Bazzi comes to the realisation his life is not the same anymore. After the odd success of his hit single, “Mine,” he’s had to adapt to the mainstream attention from fans and other artists. As a result, he feels everything he does needs to be thought out due to how people might view him....
[Intro]
Just gotta
Clear my head a little bit
[Verse 1]
I don't know what I'm looking for
I don't know what to say anymore
I wouldn't call it sad, I wouldn't call it mad
Something's just not right
I don't wanna feel like this anymore
[Chorus]
That man in the mirror ain't me
In the mirror, ain't me, no, no
That man in the mirror ain't me
In the mirror, ain't me, no, no
I don't wanna feel like this anymore, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
I don't know what's wrong
But this feeling's so strong, let it go
Wishing I could just forget all the thoughts up in my head
Well, couldn't tell you what's missing
Man, it's nothing specific
Just a feeling, I'm tripping
Got me so fucked up, yeah
Wish I could lift this up
Oh, no, no, no, no
[Chorus]
That man in the mirror ain't me
In the mirror, ain't me, no, no
That man in the mirror ain't me
In the mirror, ain't me, no, no
I don't wanna feel like this anymore, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 3]
Fighting with my mind
Crossing every line
Getting too close
I just gotta breathe
Smoke a little weed
Learn to let it go
[Bridge]
I know that I'm meant for more than this
I just gotta leave my head and start to live
[Outro]
That man in the mirror ain't me
In the mirror, ain't me, no, no
That man in the mirror can't see
In the mirror, can't see me, no
