I u sed to see a ballerina sta ring back at m e
A be auty queen a si nging star was al l I longed to be
I'd dress up in my mother's clothes and d ance the days a way
When no thing was torn and tattered broke n or frayed
I us ed to see an astronaut fly ing through the clo uds
And in that look of innocence nothi ng brought you dow n
And ev erything was possible in the fra me of a mir ror
And every dr eam was coming true when you w ished it down the river
But they do n't make mirrors like they u sed to
Cos they t ell me the truth that I'm li ving trut h
No they don 't make mirrors like they use d to
Cos when I look in one now I see every thing's changed s omeh ow
I use d to love the boy next door he lo ved me from a far
With his r ipped up jeans his l ong died hair and his b attered old g uitar
He n ever did make Kurt Cobain he's h appy with his babi es
I guess lo ve stood the test of time cos he still drives me crazy
But they don 't make mirrors like they us ed to
Cos they t ell me the truth that i'm li ving tr uth
No they do n't make mirrors like they use d to
Cos when I lo ok in one now I see e verything's changed s omeh ow
N othings the same and it all gets re- arranged
As you go where life will lead you too
And the b ooks always open the c ircle is un-broken
And they d on't make mirrors like they us ed too
No they do n't make mirrors like they u sed to
Cos they t ell me the truth that i'm liv ing tr uth
They don 't make mirrors like they us ed to
Cos when I l ook in one now I see everything's ch anged s omeh ow
When I lo ok in one now I see everything's ch anged so meho w
