This is the story of a star
He gave up reality for fame
He's the man in the mirror
Man in the mirror, man in the mirror
Man in the mirror, man in the mirror
Man in the mirror, man in the mirror
Man in the mirror
Money was his best friend (da di da di da)
Lights are off, the curtain's closed
No one is here now (da di da di da)
To turn back the hands of time
He's the man (he's the man) in the dark (in the dark)
Tryin' to see the light again
He's the man (he's the man) in the dark (in the dark)
To fall is hard to understand
He's the man in the mirror
He was a hero, he was a superstar
He's the man in the mirror
Searchin' the spotlight, searchin' the fame bizarre
Man in the mirror (mirror, mirror)
Man in the mirror (mirror, mirror)
He's the man in the mirror (da di da di da)
He's living inside a nasty world
No one was honest (da di da di da)
Searching for the fame he lost
He's the man (he's the man) in the dark (in the dark)
Tryin' to see the light again
He's the man (he's the man) in the dark (in the dark)
To fall is hard to understand
He's the man in the mirror
He was a hero, he was a superstar
He's the man in the mirror
Searchin' the spotlight, searchin' the fame bizarre
He's the man in the mirror
He was a hero, he was a superstar
He's the man in the mirror
Searchin' the spotlight, searchin' the fame bizarre
The curtain's closed, the camera is off
The makeup is washed away
He's lookin' in the mirror trying to find his inner self
He's so afraid to be alone
Man in the mirror, man in the mirror
Man in the mirror, man in the mirror
Man in the mirror, man in the mirror
Man in the mirror
Time's getting over (da di da di da)
The past is running through his hands
No one is waitin' (da di da di da)
The show is over, he's alone
He's the man (he's the man) in the dark (in the mirror)
Tryin' to see the light again
(Searchin' for the light) he's the man
(He was a superstar) in the dark (he's the man in the mirror)
To fall is hard to understand (searchin' for the, searchin' for fame)
(He was the man in the mirror)
He's the man in the mirror
He was a hero, he was a superstar
He's the man in the mirror
Searchin' the spotlight, searchin' the fame bizarre
He's the man in the mirror
