Please don't try to make me listen,
there is not much you can say;
that will make me want to hear you,
when you say that it's okay.

Please don't make me do this,
I don't want to but I will.
If I'm pushed and if I'm pressured,
I'll show you I can ****.

Please don't hurt the both of us,
by making this way too hard;
harder than it should be,
in the end we'll both be scarred.

Please don't make me say it,
I am sorry but it's the truth.
You've done this way too often,
and now your sorry is mute.

Please don't make me listen,
to another speech of lies;
I've decided that it's over,
you and I we both know why.

How can you run to me
after all this time of shame;
when you blamed me all along,
when you caused my life of pain.

How dare you say you're sorry;
how do you apologize,
when no simple words could ever erase
the years of built up lies.

Darkness in my face,
I covered every sadness.
A wall, it saved the day
it was cover to your disgrace.

Get on your knees and beg,
there's no room for sorry here.
I will be your child no longer.
I will no longer let you near.

Darkness; she is calling,
she draws you ever closer.
Cold hearted wails surround you,
you feel her through your torso.

Darkness; she is calling,
reflection in the mirror.
She screams for your attention,
you do not want to hear her.

She grips your heart.
She tears your soul.
She has your mind,
she has control.

She is calling for attention,
wrought with fear and hurt.
Darkness in the mirror yells:
"This is all you're worth!"

Do not let her blind you,
give her not your key;
for she is in the mirror honey
and my dear, you are so free.

Darkness in the mirror,
you know her all too well.
My dear do not go near her,
do not let her cast her spell.

I've walked that lonely road,
I've come so far I won't just wait.
Won't sit and weep,
I guide my fate.

A path so clear that I'll stand and wait.
Take me away, it's never too late.

Take my hand tonight
and everything will be alright.
We can do all this together,
waiting out this stormy weather.

To leave this lonely path;
I've walked away and won't look back.
I hope to see you there;
my love, you're oh so rare.

I am so very glad that you are here with me.
You are the one I truly want,
you are the one who sets me free.

You are blinded by your pain;
you have given up the fight.
You are good at placing blame
and at blocking out all light.

A darkness shrouds your face
and your pain will not escape.
You've locked me out - run away
and now its far too late.

You've already been forgiven,
there's no need for anger here.
You are only way too human
and I am only too sincere.

I have never seen a face,
as blank as yours does stare.
My heart, it breaks in pain
as all you do is glare.

I have seen the chains which bind you,
you are blind and this I know.
I have known your downward struggle,
I just wish you'd let it show.

I tried my best to open up
and all I did was care.
I opened up to let you in
but you were never there.

You are blinded by your pain,
you have given up the fight.
You are closed to those around you,
too trapped in your own life.
