Man In the Mirror
Hating daily living
Can't stand the sound of my name
Since you've left nothing feels the same
Feel like I'm drowning
I'm losing it again
Because I can feel you in every place we've been
Thought it was a curse
The situation I find myself in
Mistakes I've made, where do I begin
Lost deep inside myself
The cost of loving you was more than I planned
Using these hours at work like a gun in my hand
If I see you again
Please believe the lies that I spin
I'll appear much better than the hell I've been living in
It's been so long it all seems like a dream
Fighting to remember your taste and smell
I've turned this life into 10x10 cell
I can see you leaving
It's burned into my tortured head
Some days i'd be better off dead
Let's pick any old road and start again
Wish I was who I appear
I can't stand the man in the mirror
