Another Us

You and I, we were one A universe between us And we breathed the same ether We lived in different worlds You asked for appreciation That I could never give myself And you made me hate myself For all the darkness you revealed in me I always knew Your heart was made of gold I always believed Your skin was made of stone Your strength gave me security Only the mirror was my enemy My hands burned from the blows But your skin was paper And I broke through But your skin was paper And I broke through the core I thought you could withstand me A wall in rain of arrows Ugliness cant wreck mirrors I should have turned away Your words were sharp as knives Cutting deeper than I thought Hot tears steam up the glass And I no longer saw myself in you I always knew Your heart was made of gold I always believed Your skin was made of stone Your strength gave me security Only the mirror was my enemy My hands burned from the blows But your skin was paper And I broke through But your skin was paper And I broke through The years passed by The rain has washed Away the earth And all the cold But scars remain And keep in mind All our long forgotten fights The years passed by, the rain has washed Away the earth and all the cold The wind has blown Away the shards and waste But scars remain and keep in mind All our long forgotten fights And now I know who you really are Your strength gave me security Only the mirror was my enemy My hands burned from the blows But your skin was paper And I broke through But your skin was paper And I broke through the core
