Song Lyrics

Take a look in the mirror
What do you see
Take a look deep inside you
Are you still free?

There is no peace of mind
When love turns so unkind
Why does love have to go wrong?
When we try hard to hold on
Why does love have to go wrong?

Take a look all around you
What do you see?
Through the pain that surrounds you
Are you still free?

There are no words to say
When the light fades to gray
Why does love have to go wrong?
When we try hard to hold on
Why does love have to go wrong?
Just a moment and it's gone

Take a look in the mirror
What do you see?
Take a look deep inside you
Set yourself free

There is no place to hide
When all the flames have died
Why does love have to go wrong?
When we try hard to hold on
Why does love have to go wrong?
Just a moment and it's gone

Ginger Baker, Jack Bruce, Gary Moore
