There's a man that I used to know And sometimes he still visits with me When it's late and the alcohol's glow Is nearly gone And it's time to awaken
And he looks and he laughs at the sight And he asks what has happened to me And I blame it all on the lights But he smiles and says i'm mistaken And there is no use in disguising What the eye can so clearly see That i've spent my whole life denying That the man in the mirror is me
Give me one second chance Give me one final dance Give me one magic line Take a minute off my time
Give me one final bow If the moment allows While he stares at the scars Saying just who you are Just who you are Just who you are
In a child-like illusion of life He imagined the things yet to be But they all disappeared on this night Carry on among the forsaken
For there is no use in denying What the eye can so clearly see That one day I too will be dying And the man in the mirror agrees
Give me one second chance Give me one final dance Give me one magic line Take a minute off my time
Give me one final bow If the moment allows While he stares at the scars Saying just who you are Just who you are Just who you are Just who you...
