Hard Look In the Mirror

Staring into the mirror Don't like what I see Don't recognize the man staring back at me I have changed Not who I used to be People don't recognize who they see Life took a new direction Went down a path I NEEDED to go Don't need the people I used to know The path suddenly stopped Came to an impassable wall Wouldn't be able to finish the path after all Priorities have changed Can no longer go along with the importance of things I have tasted the importance true happiness brings Stuck in between A life I used to know And a place my heart tells me I need to go How can I stay When my eyes have been opened wide Each day here I die a bit inside My departure Would cause so my pain and strife Bring an end to my former life How do you decide To hurt those that love you How do I say this I can no longer do Pitiful problems Of a pitiful man That reflection in the mirror, I can no longer stand
