I look at my reflection

The words left unspoken

Feel the weight of my emotions

I’ve been walking with my shadows in the night

They’re at war with all the fear deep inside

A map of failures etched upon me over time

Still hope lingers in this fragile state of mind

I look at my reflection

The words left unspoken

Feel the weight of my emotions

I’m left trying to build the bridges that I burned

Leave the past behind, let go of all the hurt

Still the memories are haunting every turn

The lessons that I needed, were never learned

I look at my reflection

The words left unspoken

Feel the weight of my emotions

If I could find a way to turn back time

Somehow change the view

Somehow make things right

But now I know I want to live this life

Someone who is stronger, someone true

Be someone better, someone new
