As I stare into the mirror,
My life flashes by.
As I stare into the mirror,
Tears begin to fill my eyes.
As I stare into the mirror,
I'm looking back at myself.
As I stare inth the mirror,
I think 'what the hell? '
I've never realized
That I've been
Hiding behind so many lies.
I've never realized
How many people I have hurt.
I've never realized
All the scars I've given.
All the pain I've inflicted...
Until I stared into the mirror.
I was walking,
Not talking,
But with my actions,
I was swearing at the world.
Then I walked past
A window.
And punched it in.
I was facing a cracked reflection.
I've never realized
That I've been
Hiding behind so many lies.
I've never realized
How many people I have hurt.
I've never realized
All the scars I've given.
All the pain I've inflicted...
Until I stared into the mirror
I was dating,
Then hating
Guy after guy.
And breaking their hearts.
Then I looked down,
Into the water.
And threw a rock in.
I was looking at a scattered reflection.
I've never realized
That I've been
Hiding behind so many lies.
I've never realized
How many people I have hurt.
I've never realized
All the scars I've given.
All the pain I've inflicted...
Until I stared into the mirror
