Mary J. Blige Feat. Eve Mirror lyrics

I used to give you too much power, trust me them days is over
Can't understand it how I let you sit on my shoulders
Them times when you messed up, I made excuses for
And I always knew it that I should have headed for the door

But I stayed and you played the right way in your place
And I prayed every time you was away you'd see my face
But the me was you, and your pain was mine
And the same situation playing over in my mind, it seems

Ain't tryna hear you, just tryna hear me
Don't wanna hear nothing, baby, selfishly
I'm blaming you for the hurt in me
But it's not your fault that I'm so incomplete

You see every time I do it, do it, I seem to ruin
Got this funny way of falling in love
And it's effecting how I'm breathing, effecting how I'm eating
Seems like I'm all up on drugs, drugs

So beg you my pardon
Loving you deep in my heart
And I can't take no more
I'm looking for the problem, standing over the sick

One thing I found, I had to take a look in the mirror
Take a look in the mirror, take a look in the mirror
And see I can't leave you until I learn to leave me
Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, leave me

What was I thinking that you talk to me like that
You was holding me down, but I was holding me back
Looking inside myself and has to see who I am
'Cause this is my trial, affecting my smile

I'm gotta walk it out, this is gonna be a while

You see every time I do it, do it, I seem to ruin
Got this funny way of falling in love
And it's effecting how I'm breathing, effecting how I'm eating
Seems like I'm all up on drugs, drugs

So beg you my pardon
Loving you deep in my heart
And I can't take no more
I'm looking for the problem, standing over the sick

One thing I found, I had to take a look in the mirror
Take a look in the mirror, take a look in the mirror
And see I can't leave you until I learn to leave me
Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, leave me

Everything I thought I knew, all them times I ran away
You see, really I was running for me
I know constantly we're trying, we was living in a lie
Finally looked into mirror to see

Probably would have left you sooner
But I was being scared, that ain't how I ever should be
Yeah, I was searching for a while for the source of the problem

One thing I found, I had to take a look in the mirror
Take a look in the mirror, take a look in the mirror
And see I can't leave you until I learn to leave me
Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, leave me
Take a look in the mirror, take a look in the mirror and
