Shattered mirrors and faded pictures
Show me who I am and who I was,
Faint memories I have flicker
Showing only pain and love,
Night hides who I really am
In day it’s just a lie,
But I reveal a little more
Every second by and by,
When you ask me who I was
And how I came to be,
I won’t answer truly,
Saying who I was is what you see,
I might not be exactly the same
As I was a few years ago,
But any pain I might have,
I choose not to show,
It’s not that I don’t want to,
And it’s not that no one cares,
But I just like pretending
That it was never there,
The events fade into history
Along with the bruises that aren’t rare,
But the scars remain painted,
They’ve always been there,
For bruises fade, my dear,
But the pain remains the same,
And it just seems to me
That life is all just one big game,
We can take three steps forward,
Then fall two steps behind,
Follow all the rules, think,
And take our time,
Some people win, some people lose,
It’s your choices that make it be,
Reach for and plan out all your goals,
And let the truth be what you see,
Me, I look at everything,
And I think it through,
Sometimes I make mistakes
And I regret some things too,
Then some things make me smile,
And it’s possible for me to see
That new mirrors and brand new pictures
Show me who I want to be
