The Mirror of Erised

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Ran down an empty corridor One a deserted floor Into a classroom with a mirror against the wall Looked into the glass My eyes staring past myself [Chorus] And I show not your face but your heart's desire It's just an illusion Yeah, it's just a lie And it does not do to dwell on these dreams And forget to live [Verse 2] So many wasted their lives Trying to find the other side And here I am now just wishing the path was clear And it's just a dream Even though it seems so real [Chorus] And I show not your face but your heart's desire It's just an illusion Yeah, it's just a lie And it does not do to dwell on these dreams And forget to live [Bridge] And sometimes I show you the best of times The things that you wish you had But sometimes your dreams are impossible And you know that they'll never come true [Verse 1] Ran down an empty corridor On a deserted floor Into a classroom with a mirror against the wall Looked into the glass My eyes staring past myself [Chorus] And I show not your face but your heart's desire (Your heart's desire) It's just an illusion Yeah, it's just a lie (It's just a lie) And it does not do to dwell on these dreams (You can't dwell on these dreams) And forget to live (And forget to live) And it does not do to dwell on these dreams And forget to live
