The Mirror of Erised

[Verse 1]
Ran down an empty corridor
One a deserted floor
Into a classroom with a mirror against the wall

Looked into the glass
My eyes staring past myself

[Chorus]
And I show not your face but your heart's desire
It’s just an illusion
Yeah, it’s just a lie

And it does not do to dwell on these dreams
And forget to live

[Verse 2]
So many wasted their lives
Trying to find the other side

And here I am now just wishing the path was clear
And it’s just a dream
Even though it seems so real

[Chorus]
And I show not your face but your heart's desire
It’s just an illusion
Yeah, it’s just a lie

And it does not do to dwell on these dreams
And forget to live

[Bridge]
And sometimes I show you the best of times
The things that you wish you had

But sometimes your dreams are impossible
And you know that they’ll never come true

[Verse 1]
Ran down an empty corridor
On a deserted floor
Into a classroom with a mirror against the wall

Looked into the glass
My eyes staring past myself

[Chorus]
And I show not your face but your heart's desire (Your heart's desire)
It’s just an illusion
Yeah, it’s just a lie (It's just a lie)

And it does not do to dwell on these dreams (You can't dwell on these dreams)
And forget to live (And forget to live)

And it does not do to dwell on these dreams
And forget to live
