Lyrics
so, the mirror finally looks back at you, you don't even know what it says to do, but it makes you think of your mother
now, all pretenses are cast aside, you've seen yourself and you want to hide, into the arms of another
but you can't trust a man 'cuz you can't trust yourself
you don't even know if you are someone else
you're not all that rich if it's another man's wealth that makes you warm at night
and if you can't stand the time when you are on your own when your love disappears you feel your all alone
i know how it feels to have a love that's a loan, it makes you hold on tight
to everything you cannot lose, to every little thing you cannot be refused
and it just don't matter if that's the way that you choose, 'cuz i don't care.
i don't care
i just don't care
so, now it seems that you're on your own
your independence has finally grown your will to fly is now stronger
so, fly, move ahead and go touch the sky the clouds look up and they call you high
your kite string needs to be longer
well, i can't really see you, but i wish you well
and you know i would catch you if i knew you fell
butl if i can't really see you, i can never tell, so tell me, if you start to fall
and, if you keep on flying to a higher ground, you keep on trying, never looking down, you won't be relying on a guy who's around to make you feel twice as tall
and everything can be your own
your heart, your soul, and your new found throne, then you and i will be all alone, but we don't care.
we just don't care...
