Lyrics
I was in the midair when you called me up to say
I received your call while in midair
You had left for Rome when the body wasn't whole that day
You left for Rome when the body was not whole that day
Like a broken bird
Describing a feeling of brokenness, like a broken bird
We wrote to make your heart sing babe
We wrote something to uplift your spirits
There's red paint on the ground
There's evidence of a tragic event with red paint on the ground
So I know you won't be found anyway
Anticipating that you won't be found, possibly lost
Ooh, ooh
Repetition emphasizing emptiness or absence in the mirror
There's nothing in the mirror, there's noting in the mirror
-There's nothing in the mirror, there's noting in the mirror
-I thought I saw you there
Seeing an image that resembles you
With black ribbons in your hair in the morning
Imagining you with black ribbons in your hair in the morning
And it was more dramatic, but I forget the day it dawned
Reflecting on a dramatic moment, but the specific memory is fading
Irked myself around to the truths
Contemplating truths and turning inward
You can't be found anymore
Concluding that you cannot be found anymore
'Cause we all think that our lives
Reflecting on the common belief that our lives will be longer than they actually are
Will be longer than they are
-There's nothing in the mirror, there's noting in the mirror
Repeating the theme of emptiness or lack of substance in the mirror
There's nothing in the mirror, there's noting in the mirror
-There's nothing in the mirror, there's noting in the mirror
-There's nothing in the mirror, there's noting in the mirror
-And even not around anywhere
Even though you are not physically present, your essence is still felt
You were always in my heart I swear
Expressing a heartfelt acknowledgment that you were always in the speaker's heart
And even though I've earned my way
Reiterating the enduring presence of the person in the speaker's heart, day and night
You were always in my heart night and day
