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
