Crack The Mirror

Melissa Ferrick


Stuck in my bed
I'm a catastrophe in my head
I got 8 things in the air
The phone's ringing off the hook
And I can't bare to look

Ya they told me that this would
Happen
That it would all get to be too much
And I'd find myself alone

Crack the mirror
And hang a sign on my door
That says
That girl doesn't live here anymore

So the weeks go by
Yeah into my descent
'Till I do not know
How far down I have gone

It's like when you're swimming in
The ocean
And the bottom becomes the top
And you don't realize that the
Whole time
You have been swimming down for air

Crack the mirror
And hang a sign on my door
That says don't bother knockin' here
Anymore
Crack the mirror
And hang a sign on my door
That says
That girl doesn't live here anymore

So every week now
I go and talk about myself
Yeah why I can't eat
And why I can't get to sleep
And the doctor says
It's a neurological thing
But what the doctor doesn't know
Is that my soul can't
Breathe

Crack the mirror
And hang a sign on my door
That says don't bother knockin' here
Anymore
Crack the mirror
And hang a sign on my door
That says
That girl doesn't live here anymore
