This is another song that appears on the compilation album. No Previous Record. This version was taken from one of the WRIU tapes that Cheryl had.

Many think that breaking a mirror is 7 years bad luck. This is referenced in this song. It seems to be about someone who thinks that their problems are bigger than most others. Perhaps the person is a massochist, because they seem to like the pain. I wonder if the face in the mirror is the singer or somebody else?

  • Last night you had me so scared
  • I'd never seen the likes of it before I met you
  • You caught me so unaware
  • Tellin me how you would hurt me if I slipped and let you
  •  
  • I said be kind, you said no
  • You said love me you said go
  • Tell me please I've got to know
  • Have you got a gentle bone in your body lady?
  •  
  • Do you think because you once were hurt
  • You got a reason to be cryin more than all the rest?
  • Well you can join the club and get to work
  • You better turn yourself to tryin just to do your best now
  •  
  • If you wanna go down, go on your own
  • If you wanna drink poison stay at home
  • If you only love pain leave me alone
  • Have you thought about the future in a bottle lately?
  •  
  • When you broke my mirror did you think
  • You had a ticket to another 7 years of drink?
  • Oh I felt my faith and comfort sink
  • When I met the crazy eyes that you had turned to face me
