Sinead O'Connor - 1000 Mirrors lyrics

A scream, a shout far in the distance

Maybe the first or second floor

Curtains colouring the windows

Never see behind closed doors

A silent siege behind politeness

Domestic harmony for show

Lost in the mirage of a marriage

Outside a world she'll never know

And as I see through the real you

I'm falling straight into

A thousand broken mirrors

I can't hide

And outside the bright lights

Can't hide the pain inside

And I've broken a thousand mirrors

Now it's time, now it's time, now it's time

Loving her children with a passion

Protecting them at any cost

Taking the only course of action

There's no more bridges left to cross

Who are the ones, who are the guilty?

Who are the ones who bear the scar?

We must not leave our sisters bleeding

We sing this song for Tsoora Shah

And as I see through the real you

I'm falling straight into

A thousand broken mirrors

I can't hide

And outside the bright lights

Can't hide the pain inside

And I've broken a thousand mirrors

Now it's time, now it's time, now it's time

And as I stare through that window

I'm falling straight into a thousand broken mirrors

I can't hide

And outside the bright lights

Can't hide the pain inside

And I've broken a thousand mirrors

Now it's time, now it's time, now it's time
