Well you've started again

With the wife of a friend

On another night you hope you won't recall

And the wine that you're drinkin'

Doesn't keep you from thinkin'

Of the bitter taste that lingers in your soul

As you listen to your lies

Once again you realize

That she doesn't mean a thing to you at all

And I watch you climb that stairway

To the bottom

Every evening in that mirror on the wall



You take pride in deceiving

One who tried hard believin' in you

Even after all the lies you told

But each lie that you've spoken

And each vow that you've broken

Was a new nail in the coffin of your soul

If you think someone's cryin'

For the love that is dyin'

With the trust that you betray each time you fall

Look around you on that stairway to the bottom

No one's watchin' but that mirror on the wall



Look around you on that stairway to the bottom

No one's watchin' but that mirror on the wall
