Mirrors Are Painful

Oh what a tragedy, what an utter disgrace It was never my intention to recreate, A near perfect carbon copy of the bad mad old me I fought so hard to avoid this so how can this possibly be?! The past and present have come to collide The same old bull arguement but I'm on the other side Your hostile eyes scream at the grown ups treating you so unfairly My terrified sleepless one cry back I'm trying to keep you safe, JUST LISTEN TO ME But I know I'm on the losing side Coz 20 years ago I was you Facing off against your nan Who lost this same old battle too Just know when you need me you know where I am Coz ill never turn you away my son Coz I will always be your mam
