Lyrics:
I don’t wanna die, leave my soul with my body
Lonely in the night, I need someone to hold me
And tell me it’s alright
Tell me I’m gonna make it
Through the fire
And into the light
Mirror mirror won’t you take away my fears?
‘Cause I’m paranoid my reflection is showing the years
And a fortune teller told me I was gonna be rich, hey
So won’t you show me a future that’s better than this?
Better than this
I don’t wanna live, with a chip on my shoulder
Racing round the sun, why must I get any older
So, show me I’m alright
There’s no need to be jaded
When it feels like my world is burning
I won’t be scared anymore
Mirror mirror won’t you take away my fears?
‘Cause I’m paranoid my reflection is showing the years
And a fortune teller told me I was gonna be rich, hey
So won’t you show me a future that’s better than this?
Better than this
Lift me up
Show me all the things that make me good enough
Show me love
Show me love
I don’t wanna die, leave my soul with my body
Lonely in the night, I need someone to hold me
Mirror mirror won’t you take away my fears?
‘Cause I’m paranoid my reflection is showing the years
And a fortune teller told me I was gonna be rich, hey
So won’t you show me a future that’s better than this?
Ooh (Mirror mirror won’t you take away my fears?)
Show me a future that’s better than this
Better than this

Just listened to to both versions back to back a few times.
The original is something to listen to on a fast open road turned up to ELEVEN. It starts slow, like pulling away from the A34 traffic lights at Chieveley, and by the time you join the M4 westbound, MIRROR MIRROR in the outside lane at 125mph. And it slows down as you get to the traffic lights at junction 19 for the M32 🙂
This acoustic version though, best listened to, led in bed after a hard day, and turned down to about three. A lullaby that doesn't get your heart pumping.
For me, the lyrics work for both versions.
