A Mirror is Harder to Hold

We could stay a while longer
We could stay up and talk about last summer
We could go down to the water
Watch the sunset going under
It's not that I'm a stranger to lonely moments
I've had my share of those
Please don't go, Please don't leave me alone
A mirror is so much harder to hold

I could try and point the finger
But the glass points in my direction
Sure you got your sharp edges
But my wounds are from my own reflection
You've got nothing I could hold against you
I've got fatal flaws to call my own
Please don't go, Please don't leave me alone
A mirror is so much harder to hold

I met a man who was looking for perfection
Said he never met a girl who was good enough
His eyes were getting old like they'd love to love again
Such a lonely man, such a lonely man

I see him in my reflection
Taking steps towards me these days
So I hold you that much closer
And pray we don't throw this away
It's not that I'm a man who couldn't love you
I know what these arms are for
Please don't go, Please don't leave me alone
A mirror is so much harder to hold

A mirror is so much harder to hold
Please don't go, Please don't leave me cold
A mirror is so much harder to hold

The lyrics above are the lyrics for a song by Jon Foreman. The song was sent to me a long time back and I was just like, hm, nice song, you know. Well, last night, I was able to understand a little better the meaning of it. A mirror is definitely harder to hold, and my life requires some serious re-examination.
