In The Mirror
(Johan Bengtsson)
Look at your face in the mirror
Is that what you want to see?
Look at yourself in the mirror
Is that who you want to be?
All the dreams and the plans you had
Where did they all go away?
You traded your heart for nothing
And now your hair is turning grey
Look at your face in the mirror
It doesn’t get more distinct
Your ageing faster than usual
And feeling sorry for everything
Already in your twenties
You have lost the faith in what
Was thought to be the only path
Now, instead, what have you got?
No, I don’t regret anything
But I’m searching for something
That lasts
When I look at myself in the mirror
What is it I want to see?
The face of a beautiful stranger
Or just the usual image of me?
Am I bored or just astray?
Do I now what have lost?
When I traded my heart for something
And I don’t know what it was
I’m not that messed up as it might look
When you see my face like this
It is just an adjustable mirror
That is all that there is
I don’t regret anything
No, I’m done regretting
But I’m searching for something
For something that lasts
No, I don’t regret anything
But I’m searching for something
That lasts
