Reflection

A look in the mirror
I see my face
Is it.... is it really me?
Is this who I wanted to be?
Tear swollen eyes
My make-up smudged

I'm so sorry for showing my tears tonight
I was a great actor for years

Always pretending to be strong
Hiding my grief deep inside
Please, don't come near
And don't look at me
'Cause no-one should see
The secrets I bear

I'm so sorry, you saw me so weak tonight
But I can't fight back my tears

A look in the mirror
I see my face
Each time it cries
The tears sharp as knives
Makes scars all over me
Is that what you wanted to see?

I'm so sorry for showing my tears tonight
I was a great actor for years
I'm so sorry, you saw me so weak tonight

But I can't fight back my tears
When will I be able to forget?
When will my tears erase my memories?
Will my wounded soul stop bleeding?
Will I ever find redemption?
