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
