Mirrors
Justin Timberlake · 2013
🎤 Sing along
Sing with the chorus
- 'Cause I don't wanna lose you now
- I'm lookin' right at the other half of me
- The vacancy that sat in my heart
- Is a space that now you hold
Echo the hook
- I couldn't get any bigger (oh-oh)
- With anyone else beside me (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
- And now it's clear as this promise
- That we're makin'
