Lyrics for Honey, This Mirror Isn't Big Enough for ... as interpreted by catra

Honey, This Mirror Isn't Big Enough for ... Lyrics
the amount of pills I'm taking
counteracts the booze I'm drinking
and this vanity I'm breaking
lets me live my life like this
and well I find it hard to stay
with the words you say
oh baby let me in
well I'll choose the life I've taken
never mind the friends I'm making
and the beauty that I'm faking
lets me live my life like this
and well I find it hard to stay
with the words you say
oh baby let me in
and you can cry all you want to
i don't care how much you'll invest yourself in me
we're not working out
and you can't touch my brother
and you can't keep my friends
and we're not working out
this time I mean it
never mind the times I've seen it
well I hope I'm not mistaken
by the news I heard from waking
and it's hard to say I'm shaken
by the choices that i make
well I'll choose this life I've taken
never mind the friends I'm making
and I get a little shaken
because I live my life like this
and you can cry all you want to
i don't care how much you'll invest yourself in me
we're not working out
and you can't keep my brother
and you won't fuck my friends
and we're not working out
this time I mean it
never mind the times i've seen it
never again
oh baby let me in
I'm knocking let me in

Crazy song. So fast paced and great lyrics. I love that raspy scream when he says i dont "care" it just gets me every time. Mcr, amazing band i am seeing them live soon with Thrice (Fav band), the used, and story of the year (great band, purely insane).

"the amount of pills i'm taking counteracts the booze i'm drinking" that line is so goddamn great! i love it! this song is of the ones on the album i call the "you can't make them any better 'cause they are perfect" songs. the other ones are "vampires will never hurt you", "early sunsets over monroeville" and "demolition lovers"!!!

I saw them with Thrice, The Used, and Story of the Year. Story of the Year was ok, they tired themselves out far too quick though, Chemical Romance were just how I expected them, so that's good. Thrice was more than I could possibly iimagine, almost live changing. And the Used....well, better than I thought, only due to the drummer thoughm yet that son of a bitch said he was going to puke, yet he didn't, I really wanted him too.

oh baby let me in ) i think it means, hard times gerard went through so he used booz and drugs to kill his sadden feelings to get away from the girl that hurt him.

Awesome song. Awesome band. The amazingness of this band is obvious with the intro to this song alone.

Very good song. I just saw them with Saved by Grace, Flatterly, and Thrice Friday night at the El Torreon in Kansas city. They put on an awesome show along with the rest of them. When they played this song everyone went crazy. My Chemical Romance is by far very talented.

I think he broke up with some girl cause she cheated on him and told him about it (the words you say) and i think she cried to him about him not wanting her and he wouldn't take it so he got drunk and stoned to get rid of the pain after he heard about the cheating....

It's not about Gerard. The song is written about Mikey, Gerard's brother, and MCR's bassist. It is written from both points of view, like the line "you can't touch my brother" is from G's view and "We're not working out" and so on from mikey's. It's basically about a girl who was a total bitch to him, and it really affected him.

songs about people who don't give a fuck are the best. especially to people like me who DO give a fuck and wish they didn't. "and you can cry all you want to i don't care how much you invest yourself in me" is the best and most heart wrenchingly honest lyric i've heard in a few years. i'm backing MCR for sure.

Okay first off I think most of you are at the wrong website. It says, "Songmeanings.net" not "Telleveryoneaboutyourbullshitstoriesaboutgoingtoconcerts.net" Okay now you see the title is Honey, this mirror isn't big enough for the two of us and as you all must not know mirrors are quite often referred to by cocaine use such as eating breakfast on a mirror. So anyway this song is about drugs and some dumb bitch ass kike that didn't want Gerard, or whoever he is talking about in this song, to do drugs. He's basically telling her to fuck off and then she's going after his brother and friends. The part of the song that identifies with me the most is when he says, "never mind the friends I'm makin" because I got caught using drugs and my mom thinks it's all the new friends I made but it's not and people jump to conclusions thinking your with the wrong krew. but anyway good song and its about drugs and some bitch that's all.

my take; shitty relationship, S.O. constantly bitching about his habits, cheating on him, ect, he's finally had enough.
love the song by the way.
