Broken Mirror

Long ago, in a world that seems so distant
I used to see an unbroken image
So much time has past since then that it seems like fiction
It's been so many days
And countless bad decisions I've made
Each one serves as another break
And the child that used to run around and play
Has been long in the grave

Looking through this Broken Mirror I see
Every broken piece and I'm not who I used to be
And I don't know how anyone could love me

So many failures and shame
Flaws and pain
And my souls been tied
So many times
And I'm the only one to blame
Every choice I make is one more break

One more crack
One more thing I see I lack
One more comparison to track
One more insecurity to throw on the stack
Then I go and find another broken soul
Bind myself to them so I don't feel so alone
Use them as stitches to hold my wounds close
And accept all their cracks as they become my own
Long after they go

Looking through this Broken Mirror I see
Every broken piece and I'm not who I used to be
And I don't know how anyone could love me

So many failures and shame
Flaws and pain
And my souls been tied
So many times
And I'm the only one to blame
Every choice I make

I'm living this lie
Forced to hide
The version of myself that I've come to despise

Forced to conceal
Can't risk being real
Because I'm Terrified to be revealed

Will you fill in these cracks
Mend these wounds
This grave is pitch black
And I'm desperate for you
Restore my soul
I'm down my knees
And I'm begging you please
Please can you help me see
What you see when you look at me
Can you help me see
What you see when you look at me
