Hat On, Drinking Wine - Red-Eyed Face in the Mirror lyrics

rate me

Hey there red-eyed face in the mirror

Now what do you have to say?

The sun has come up and she stood you up

It aint been your night and it don't look to be your day

But you'll say it's no fault of your own

And you're better off letting her go.

And before you turn away, the things you

don't say will be the thoughts that you'll

carry deep in your heart long after she's forgotten you.

Hey there tired old face in the mirror

There aint no way you're getting 'round

You broke every rule and that girl played you a fool

She said that she wanted you in a sweet voice

that haunted you and before it ever started she told you that you were all through.

But you'll say that was a lie

Cause she had a thing for you all along

You wrote her a song and that girl sang along

On a night just like last night and it felt all right till the words you had just wouldn't come.

But you'll say, you don't understand

She really meant every word that she said.

You're not being fair, you weren't even there when she said

all those things that made my heart sing and got me staying up

late and playing my songs and feeling this way at the dawn.
