Staring In The Mirror

I stare in the mirror
I stare back at me
I stare at this unwavering reflection
Why do I look so unhappy?

I stare at my eyes
At the tears rimming the ledge
I lean forward, I look deep
But its like falling off the edge

I stare at my lips
And I wonder how they ever spoke
I stare at those quivering lips
And then the sob broke

I stare at my face
Looming in shadows, so alone
I stare back at me
And wonder why I can't find my way home

I stare at our photos
Happy smiles lingering in time
A tear straying down this lonesome face
How I would love to rewind the clocks chime

I stare at this empty place
Looking at the place you use to stand
I stare at what use to be
Before I turned around and released your hand

I stare at my eyes again
Seeing the pain swimming in tears turned black
I wonder where my life began
But I already know I can't turn back

It's too late
I'm lost
I stare into the mirror
And I already know the cost

I stare in the mirror
I seem that I'm already gone
I stare back into the tears
And I knew all along
