Reflections - Sofia Talvik

I look in the mirror

And all I can see

Is my mother’s face staring back at me

I guess I’ll grow older

Than I am today

But inside I’ll always stay the same

The days they are flying

Past me so fast

What can I do to make them last

The dreams I once harboured

Have sailed long ago

Now I’m just fighting on alone

Would you believe me if I said

You still look the same as you did that day

But are we the same as we were that day

We lost our edge and the will to play

I look in the mirror and I see

A strangers face gazing back at me

When you look at me what do you see

I walk on the wind now

I follow a path

Will I find a resting place at last

My skin has grown thinner

See through at best

But I still wear my heart

Outside my chest

Would you believe me if I said

You still look the same as you did that day

But we’re not the same as we were that day

We lost our edge and the will to play

I look in the mirror and I see

A strangers face gazing back at me

When you look at me what do you see
