Oh I’ve looked into this dirty mirror all my life
But I never knew its dirty secret until now
I never knew just how beautiful the lie could be
Until I heard the truth

That’s when I heard you knocking
That’s when I heard you knocking
That’s when I heard you knocking

I looked out through this cloudy window long enough
Though I never suspected I could just turn and call the bluff
The causal deceit, terrible and sweet, unseen
Until you pushed right through

That’s when I heard you knocking
That’s when I heard you knocking
That’s when I heard you knocking

Now I can see how close I came
To missing the prize to win the game
Tapping my broken compass
Hoping someone would come find me

I never knew just how beautiful the lie could be
Until I heard the truth

That’s when I heard you knocking
That’s when I heard you knocking
That’s when I heard you knocking
