Mental Mirror

Music & Lyrics

I knew a man who always walked the park alone (D, A, G, A)
We’d see him strolling when the sun was in the sky (D, A, G, A)
He had a look that always settled into stone (D, A, G, A)
Whenever anyone would try...to catch his eye (D, A, G, A)

We all have lives that we try to wish away (G, A, D, G)
And we have dreams we’ll never know (G, A, D)
But just remember that there’s still another day (G, A, D, G)
To find the love in where we go (G, A, D)

And then one day when we were walking in the park (D, A, G, A)
With just our children and a puppy we named Blue (D, A, G, A)
The man was sitting on a bench as it grew dark (D, A, G, A)
But then he smiled and I knew...what I should do (D, A, G, A)

We all have lives that we try to wish away (G, A, D, G)
And we have dreams we’ll never know (G, A, D)
But just remember that there’s still another day (G, A, D, G)
To find the love in where we go (G, A, D)

We sat and talked until the sun was nothing more (D, A, G, A)
He told me all his kids had left and moved away (D, A, G, A)
They never came around to see him anymore (D, A, G, A)
So I decided that I’d stay...for every day (D, A, G, A)

We all have lives that we try to wish away (G, A, D, G)
And we have dreams we’ll never know (G, A, D)
But just remember that there’s still another day (G, A, D, G)
To find the love in where we go (G, A, D)

And now we visit when the day has just begun (D, A, G, A)
He tells me all he’s learned in each and every trial (D, A, G, A)
I hear his stories of the days when he was young (D, A, G, A)
And I still listen and I smile...for just awhile (D, A, G, A)

We all have lives that we try to wish away (G, A, D, G)
And we have dreams we’ll never know (G, A, D)
But just remember that there’s still another day (G, A, D, G)
To find the love in where we go (G, A, D)

This track was one of the first tracks I started writing for this project.
After being fed up of being treated differently just for being a woman, I wanted to vent my frustrations and show that people have boundaries that you shouldn't cross.
The chorus was originally from a piano lead/ballady song I first wrote in June 2020 but I didn't feel just piano and my voice got the message across.
