The Mirror

 

Staring through the mirror
Seeing your haft-way self
Nothing else matters 
When you’re running from hell
But it’s okay
There’s angel inside you
An end you never knew
Try yourself out
And maybe you’ll show the world
That you can be queen for a day
Just find the way

Even though the day is gone
When you were crazy and in love
And in the end 
It all will change
Have the faith to find your way
To heal
Feel, feel 
To cause yourself to be kind
To be the one
To be alive
And in the mirror you’ll never ever see
That you have the strength to drop the gun
And use the knife
Cutting the bonds, setting yourself free
Staring in the mirror
Says your haft-way self
Fate is lonely
When you’re in hell
And all you do 
Is have to try
Staring in the mirror
Watching yourself cry.
