Reflecting Regret
Through the eyes looking back in this mirror I see.
Love lost and heart break, shrouded in disbelief
I see forgotten intentions and half hearted lies.
Cold neglect and unspoken goodbyes.
Mirror mirror,
why show me this shame?
I chose to forget, I buried this pain.
I've changed my ways, this past is behind me.
But once again im reminded, of the man I used to be.
Mirror mirror, please let me forget?
I can't continue living in constant regret.
Everyday I read the story these eyes sadly tell.
Im reminded of the hurt, the loss and the hell.
As im reminded of this dark past behind me
I remember the reason I chose to be free
Mirror mirror,
I understand,
Now I finally see.
Remembering these sins is what keeps them beneath me.
