The Mirror

Temptation, why won't you leave me alone?

Lurking every corner, everywhere I go

Self control, don't turn your back on me now

When I need you the most

Constant pressure tests my will

My will or my won't

My self control escapes from me still

Hypocrite, how could you be so cruel?

And expect my faith in return?

Resistance, it's not as hard as it seems

When you close the door

I spent so long trusting in you

I trust you forget

Just when I thought I believed in you

(What are you doing? What are you doing?)

It's time for me to deal

Becoming all too real

Living in fear

Why did you lie and pretend?

This has to come to an end

I'll never trust you again

It's time you made your amends

Look in the mirror, my friend

(That I haven't behaved as I should)

(Everything you need is around you, the only danger is inside you)

(I thought you could control life, but it's not like that)

(There are things you can't control)

Let's stare the problem right in the eye

It's plagued me from coast to coast

Racing the clock to please everyone

All but the one who matters the most

Reflections of reality

Are slowly coming into view

How in the hell could you possibly forgive me?

After all the hell I put you through

It's time for me to deal

Becoming all too real

Living in fear

Why'd I betray my friend?

Lying until the end

Living life so pretend

It's time to make my amends

I'll never hurt you again
