All I ever wanted was to just be happy
It didn’t seem like all that much to ask
My “happily ever after” was out there (somewhere)
But where could that be?
Everybody told me “find my own road”
So I followed every wind that would blow
But oh, what did I know?
I was going backwards – faster and faster
I thought that I was the center of my own universe
And I built my own disaster – none of it mattered
None of it mattered because in the end it only grew worse
‘Cause in the mirror everything
In the mirror everything’s reversed
Well “follow your own heart” they said so that’s just what I did
So many dreams, desires and regrets
Whenever I got what I want, what I want was not what I thought I wanted
Has anybody anywhere cracked the code?
Anyone uncover the mother lode?
Is there a map that shows?
‘Cause I was going backwards – faster and faster
I thought that I was the center of my own universe
And I built my own disaster – none of it mattered
None of it mattered because in the end it only grew worse
‘Cause in the mirror everything
In the mirror everything’s reversed
I could drink the ocean dry – Lord knows that I have tried
But You’re the water for my thirst
I’ve been living in reverse – but in the end the last they shall be first
‘Cause in the mirror everything – everything’s reversed
I was going backwards – faster and faster
I thought that I was the center of my own universe
And I built my own disaster (none of it mattered)
And none of it mattered . . . in the end it only grew worse
‘Cause in the mirror everything
In the mirror everything’s reversed
