You were the first
And you taught me how to love
And you'll always stay close to my heart
But it would not be fair if I wouldn't tell you now
That it's over
Baby it's over
You took this lonely child
And you taught it how to feel
You took the rain clouds from my eyes
You made fantasy seem real
Still it hurts me so inside
But I can't change and I can't hide
That it's over
Maybe it's over
Oh now, I know you're not the one
It's me
I've changed inside
I feel a need to be free
It's over
Maybe baby it's over
I was a lonely girl

When I look in the mirror I see my dad's face
Where my face used to be
Then I realize that he was about my age
When he started his own family
Then my radicalism, all my college Marxism
Starts drifting on out to deep sea
When I look in the mirror and I see my dad's face
Where my face used to be
When I was a kid I used to look at my dad
And I'd say, "This is who I am not."
He used Bryl-Creem, I used hair spray
He was fat, I was skinny
He drank beer, I smoked pot
But now my feet are disappearing beneath an ocean of beer
And not so mysteriously
When I look at my face I see in its place
My dad's physiognomy
I used to look at my friends, they looked fifty years older
Some nights when I'd get too stoned
That's when I believed time was a visible line
With its end and beginning both shown
Now I know that's not true
But I've still got an idea pretty much of what I can expect
When I look in the mirror and I see my dad's mug
Sitting there right on top of my neck
Well, my dad had it rough, he couldn't keep his true love
He never reached his sought-after perfection
So as I headed down my own life's road
I headed straight in the other direction
Now, when I turn around, he's not so far away
And we're on the same road, I can see
When I look in the mirror and I see my dad's face
Where my face used to be
