[Intro]
0:00
Verse 1
0:11
I kept countinā€™ every teardrop
0:11
like she cried them just for show.
0:14
Takinā€™ aim at all her shadows,
0:17
never mindinā€™ my own ghosts.
0:21
I wore righteousness like armor,
0:24
thought my pride would set me freeā€¦
0:27
But you canā€™t fix a single problem
0:30
with a heart you refuse to see.
0:33
Pre-Chorus
0:38
She held up the truth so gently,
0:38
like a lantern meant for meā€¦
0:43
But I kept starinā€™ past the light
0:47
into the lie I chose to believe.
0:50
Chorus
0:55
ā€™Cause all those years I was blinded
0:55
by reflections I couldnā€™t see.
1:00
Blamed her for all the wreckage
1:03
that was really caused by me.
1:06
Now this bed feels like confession,
1:09
silence cuts too deep to breatheā€¦
1:13
I lost the best thing in my life
1:15
to reflections I couldnā€™t see.
1:19
Verse 2
1:25
I was chasing down her demons,
1:25
never fighting mine at all.
1:29
I was feeding every silence
1:32
ā€™til the quiet finally screamed.
1:35
I wasnā€™t the hand that held her,
1:38
I was the reason she let go.
1:41
Took her leaving like betrayal,
1:44
played the victim in the endā€¦
1:47
Till the truth hit like a hammerā€”
1:52
I wasnā€™t lover, I was the sin.
1:55
Pre-Chorus
1:58
Now I replay every moment,
1:58
and the truth hits differentlyā€¦
2:02
The only soul I couldnā€™t face
2:04
was the one inside of me.
2:08
Chorus
2:10
ā€™Cause all those years I was blinded
2:10
by reflections I couldnā€™t see.
2:17
Blamed her for all the wreckage
2:20
that was really caused by me.
2:24
Now this house feels like a warning,
2:27
echoes whisper constantlyā€¦
2:30
I lost the best thing in my life
2:33
to reflections I couldnā€™t see.
2:36
Bridge
2:39
Tonight I found an old note
2:39
that sheā€™d tucked inside my coat:
2:42
ā€œOne day youā€™ll face your mirror,
2:45
and I pray it sets you free.ā€
2:50
And standing in that moment
2:56
I felt every part of meā€¦
2:58
break
3:04
open like the glass
3:04
of the man I wouldnā€™t see.
3:06
Final Chorus
3:08
All those years I kept on running
3:11
from the truth she saw in me.
3:14
Now the mirrorā€™s finally honest,
3:17
and itā€™s tearing at the seams.
3:20
If forgiveness ever finds her,
3:23
Lord, donā€™t waste a drop on meā€¦
3:26
ā€™Cause I destroyed the love we had
3:30
with reflections I couldnā€™t see.
3:33
