He had hands
that never held mine
and not matter
how hard I try
I can't imagine
what it must have felt like.

He had arms
that never carried me
because he already
had someone
that could never be me.

He had the heart
that never knew
I was just near
and so he drifted away
while I'm still waiting here.

the girl in the mirror
looks tired
her eyes are emotionless
she looks weak
and she has scars
she can't hide

the girl in the mirror
tried to smile
with her very pale lips
and dead brown eyes

thinking maybe she'd be fine
maybe they won't know
maybe they won't notice
the tears from last night
maybe she can go on with life
and pretend to be alright

or maybe someone
can break the mirror
so she can stop looking at herself
so it can stop eating her soul

maybe someone can break the mirror
someone who will hold her close
and say
darling, you don't need to do this
you don't need to be alone
my arms are always open
to welcome you home.

she needs someone.

I can't seem to find
where my heart belongs
I've been looking everywhere
but I always feel so lost
and every time I think
I'm close to knowing

the closer I get
the more I feel like falling.

maybe we can all get lost
in each other's sadness
maybe we can all drown
in each other's tears
when our memories have
nothing but wasted years
and once we're all through
maybe we can all go back
to when we weren't blue
but until then
all i have is me
and all you have is you.

maybe i'm a lost star
alone in this dark sky
looking down on strangers
who looks lost as i

and a night will come
when the clouds
will cover me above
and i wonder
if these strangers
will find home
the way i never have.

"I'll be okay"
is what they want
you to say
and every now & then
you try to convince yourself
that you are still
sane.

and if you ever
want to return
to the stars
I'll still stay here
to catch you
when you turn
to *dust.
