Click hereIn the mirror I saw an angel weeping
I tried but I couldn't avert my eyes
I realized too late
No one is perfect no matter how hard one tries
I realized the reflection in the mirror was flawed
And the image staring back at me I grew to despise
I sought high and low for the truth
But found only the mirror's lies
The vision I clung to was erased
It should have come as no surprise
I desperately tried to forget
Losing myself in goodbyes
I hurt the one who needed me most
But to one's self how do you apologize?
Hope against all hopes
I begged for a chance to survive
I plead with the heavens
As the good in me slowly dies
I'm hurting so much I can hardly breathe
I'm the one left here; the one who cries
Is it possible for me to fly again
From ashes to arise?
