In the morning on the train

You sit and stare out at the rain

Or bury yourself in your books

Don't look at no strangers

No, don't give them any looks.

Why you ask yourself, why you're so afraid

Why you hesitate when someone asks your name

They'll come too close if you tell them the truth

Who's to say they want something from you.

But you're just a shell of

Your former you

That stranger in the mirror

Oh, that's you

Why'd you look so blue?

And the only man you ever loved

You thought was gonna marry you

Died in a car accident when he was only 22

Then you just decided, love wasn't for you

And every year since then

Has proved it to be true.

Now you're just a shell of

Your former you

That stranger in the mirror

Oh, that's you

Why'd you look so blue?

Maybe tomorrow you will make a change

Maybe someday soon you will find the strength.

Now you're just a shell of

Your former you

That stranger in the mirror

Oh, that's you

Why'd you look so blue?
