Transcript

[Highlighted in bold are Chris's deviations from the original lyrics]


[Intro]

If you love yourself, forgive our mutual flaws

Heal and love yourself, forgive our mutual flaws

Heal and love yourself, forgive our mutual flaws


[Verse 1]

[Horrible falsetto]

I'll be your MEEEROR

Reflect what you are, in case you don't know

I'll be the wind, the rain and the sunset

The light on your door to show that you're hoooome


[Chorus]

Wheeen you think the night has seen your miiind

That inside you're twisted and unkind

Leeeeeet me stand to show [raises hands to cover eyes] that you are blind

[Puts hands down] Please put down your haaaands

'Cause I see you


[Verse 1.5]

[ends horrible falsetto]

Oh, do you think I don't know you?

I look inside you as you look inside me

you find yourself- your body language, your thoughts and insight

If you're scared of me, you're scared of you

You have truths to face [shrugs]


[Verse 2]

[Horrible falsetto once more]

I find it haAArd to believe you don't know

The beauty you are

BUUUt if you don't, let me be your eyes

A hand to your darkness so you won't be afraid

[Chorus]

When you think the night has seen your mind

That inside you're twIIIsted and unkind

Let me stand to show that you are blinnne

Please put down your hands

[Chris sees you] 'Cause I seeeeee you


[Outro]

I've got in my body- [Ends horrible falsetto] so don't follow the past, follow the present

[horrible falsetto] I'll be your mEEEROOor

I'll be your meeroOor

I'll be your meeroOor

I'll be your merOOOoooUUUr
