Lyrics
Man in the mirror, yeah, he don't love his self
The man in the mirror lacks self-love.
Stay on his own, he don't trust nobody else
He prefers solitude and doesn't trust others.
He's insecure, he don't ever ask for help
He is insecure and avoids asking for help.
Can't give his heart cause he ain't got none of his left, yeah
Due to past experiences, he can't give his heart to others.
Man in the mirror, yeah, he don't love his self
Repetition: Emphasizes the man's lack of self-love.
Stay on his own, he don't trust nobody else
Reiteration of his preference for solitude and distrust.
He's insecure, he don't ever ask for help
Repeated expression of his insecurity and reluctance to seek help.
Can't give his heart cause he ain't got none of his left, yeah
Repeating the idea that he can't give his heart due to past emotional wounds.
He tired of hurting in peace, don't call nobody a friend
He is tired of experiencing pain alone and doesn't consider anyone a true friend.
Whenever he speaks, nobody listens to him
When he speaks, others don't pay attention to him.
The deeper he sinks, and now he hope he can swim, yeah
He is sinking deeper into his troubles, hoping for a way to overcome them.
Guess the pain will never end
The pain he feels seems unending.
He know he hurting half pain he don't deserve it, yeah
Acknowledging the undeserved pain he endures.
His mind is dark and he been trying to close the curtains, yeah
His mind is troubled, and he's trying to block out negativity.
He going lie, and say he fine but he feel worthless here
He pretends to be fine, but he truly feels worthless.
Don't waste his time cause he get flashbacks and feel hurt again
He avoids wasting time on love due to painful memories resurfacing.
He hate feeling like the past is coming back again
He despises the recurrence of past hurts.
Cause he been hurt too many times so he won't let you in
Due to numerous past hurts, he keeps others at a distance.
Won't let you see him yet, and he want darker tints
He hides his true self and desires a darker, more private existence.
He's screaming fuck love, but no one gets the hint
Expressing frustration with love, feeling misunderstood.
Battle in his mind and he's tired of fighting
He's exhausted from the internal struggle and doesn't want to fight anymore.
Can't fuck with love, cuz he don't know if he gon' like it
He avoids love due to uncertainty about whether he'll enjoy it.
Tells you the truth because he's tired of liars
Truthful about his experiences, tired of dishonesty.
But can't promise his heart because he's indecisive
He can't commit to love because he struggles with indecision.
Man in the mirror, yeah, he don't love his self
Repetition: Reinforces his lack of self-love.
Stay on his own, he don't trust nobody else

Whenever he speaks, nobody listens to him
Continuation of the theme that others ignore his words.
The deeper he sinks, and now he hope he can swim, yeah
He is sinking deeper into his troubles, hoping for a way to overcome them.
I'm trying to tell you that I'm him
