I Could Give You (A Mirror) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, how can you be so cold
With my arms to hold you?
How can you be so cold
With my arms to enfold you?

[Chorus]
I could give you a mirror
To show you disappointments
I could give you a history
Could you ever listen in to me?

[Verse 2]
Oh, how can you be so cold
When there's a fire burning?
How can you be so cold
When all the ice is melting?

[Chorus]
I could give you a mirror
To show you disappointments
I could give you a history
Could you ever listen in to me?
I could give you a mirror
To show you disappointments
I could give you a history
Could you ever listen in to me?
[Verse 3]
Oh, how can you be so cold
With my arms to hold you?
How can you be so cold
With my arms to enfold you?

[Chorus]
I could give you a mirror
To show you disappointments
I could give you a history
Could you ever listen in to me?
I could give you a mirror
To show you disappointments
I could give you a history
Could you ever listen in to me?
I could give you a mirror
To show you disappointments
I could give you a history
Could you ever listen in to me?
I could give you a mirror
To show you disappointments
I could give you a history
Could you ever listen in to me?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
