Behind the mirror

VERSE ONE

How many times i face my self

How many times i have to see

The mirror tells me what i can't see

The Man i don't want to be

I wear a smile i barely feel

I hide the wounds i cannot heal

I blame the world for all my pain

Then watch myself do it again

PRE-CHORUS

Every scar remembers why

Every truth i pushed aside

I can turn and walk away

But i'll meet myself another day

CHORUS

Who's that man behind the mirror?

Why does every night bring him nearer?

I know his face, i know his name

But i don't know who's to blame

I'm searching for the boy i was

Before the hurt, before the loss

How do i change what i can't deny?

How do i face the man inside?

VERSE TWO

I made promises i couldn't keep

I buried words too hard to speak

I let my pride decide who's wrong

Then wondered why the good things were gone

I wanted someone else to see

The better man i claimed to be

But every time the lights went low

The truth was waiting there below

PRE-CHORUS

Every scar remembers why

Every truth i pushed aside

I can turn and walk away

But i'll meet myself another day

CHORUS

Who's that man behind the mirror?

Why does every night bring him nearer?

I know his face, i know his name

But i don't know who's to blame

I'm searching for the boy i was

Before the hurt, before the loss

How do i change what i can't deny?

How do i face the man inside?

BRIDGE

No more shadows to accuse

No more masks i get to use

No more running from the past

No more lies that never last

If i broke what i held dear

I must face the reason here

I can't undo the things i've done

But i can choose what i'll become

FINAL CHORUS

Who's that man behind the mirror?

Now the truth is getting clearer

I know his face, i know his name

I won't hide behind the blame

I may have lost the boy i was

I can't rewrite the things i've done

But i'll stand here and face the light

And try to make the wrong things right

OUTRO

How many times must i face myself?

How many truths have i left on the shelf?

The mirror can't decide who i'll be

The man behind it is still up to me
