Lyrics Jon Foreman – A Mirror Is Harder To Hold

You could stay awhile longer
We could stay up and talk about last summer
We could go down to the water
Watch the sunset going under

It’s not that I’m a stranger to lonely moments
I’ve had my share of those

Please don’t go, please don’t leave me alone
A mirror’s so much harder to hold

I could try and point the finger
But the glass points in my direction
Sure you’ve got your sharp edges
But my wounds are from my own reflection

You’ve got nothing I could ever hold against you
I got fatal flaws to call my own

Please don’t go, please don’t leave me alone
A mirror is so much harder to hold

I met a man who’s looking for perfection
Said he never met a girl who’s good enough
His eyes are getting old, like they’d love to love again
Such a lonely man, such a lonely man

I see him in my reflection
Taking steps towards me these days
So I hold you that much closer
And pray we don’t throw this away

It’s not that I’m a man who couldn’t love you
I know what these arms are for

Please don’t go, please don’t leave me alone
A mirror is so much harder to hold
Please don’t go, please don’t leave me cold
A mirror is so much harder to hold
