I looked in the mirror today
And had to stand there in question
I hardly recognized myself in the gray
Early morning reflection

Too little sleep, too much time to think
Past mistakes coming up to haunt
Ghosts of forbidden love past come to drink
From the fountain of pre-dawn funk

I kept you at safe distance
But said the right words to keep you close
Such is the promise of a mistress
To be the daisy and never the rose
