I look into my morning mirror
A E F#m E D A
And it reveals some things to me that I had not been able to see

The afternoon was slow in coming
A E/G# F#m E D A

I knew behind my back they'd point and laugh and stare
D E A F#m
All and all, I would have to say, hey

I live in silence like my phone that's never talked on
