"The Mirror" lyrics

I know that it'll come good, it's got to, doesn't it?
Don't recognise who I've been seeing, and that's the trouble here
What have I been striving for, and will I ever get there?
Who knows, but I'll fight until the end

I don't like looking in the mirror still
Some days are better than others
But I'll keep it real
Life gets harder the older that I get
I feel like I've never been closer from the edge
Is it just me?
I think it must be
I need to just leave
Need to breathe and cut free
But there's no good being like this
Can't be happy in the world if you see it like this
I sort myself out, splash myself with water
Look into the mirror, then I see my daughter
I can't just be down on myself
'Cause I'm proud of myself
You should be as well

I know that it'll come good, it's got to, doesn't it?
Don't recognise who I've been seeing, and that's the trouble here
What have I been striving for, and will I ever get there?
Who knows, but I'll fight until the end

I looked in the mirror and I prayed that soon
Some good news is coming my way
So I'll work hard, way harder than the other day
And think surely all of these things are gonna change
If they don't now, then it's cool, and they never will
Just means that our little car costs less to fill
That's not a bad thing to happen, it's better still
Better than playing petrol pump, guess the bill
I was on stage at a glass door, spraying bars, man
Now I'm in a warehouse, hi-vis and hard hat
I had to get over myself to get past that
At least my kids know I work hard, man

I know that it'll come good, it's got to, doesn't it?
Don't recognise who I've been seeing, and that's the trouble here
What have I been striving for, and will I ever get there?
Who knows, but I'll fight until the end
