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?
- Broken Mirror
- Words And Music By
- Cheryl Wheeler
- 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
