[Verse 1]
There's a stranger in the mirror and I don't know what he wants
I take a deeper look at him in hopes for a response
There's a stranger in the mirror and he's looking so perplexed
I hope I didn't do something to make him so upset
[Chorus]
I wish I knew
Why can't you look me dead in the eyes?
Is the person that I'm looking at the reaper to kill me
Or the angel that'll save my life?
I wish I knew
[Verse 2]
There's a stranger in the mirror and he won't say what he does
I wish I knew exactly what he's capable of
There's a stranger in the mirror and he's scaring me a bit
I stand my ground, he forms a frown and calls me a hypocrite
[Chorus]
I wish I knew
Why can't you look me dead in the eyes?
Is the person that I'm looking at the reaper to kill me
Or the angel that'll save my life?
I wish I knew
[Outro]
There's a stranger in the mirror, there's a stranger in the mirror
There's a stranger in the mirror, there's a stranger in the mirror
There's a stranger in the mirror, there's a stranger in the mirror
There's a stranger in the mirror (I wish I knew)
