I look in the mirror it's not what i expect.
I see someone that is hard to respect.
I see someone that's thrown his life away.
It's like i've been content with everyday.
But now I've realized I'm not.
And if I stay like this surely I will rot.
I see someone who has aged but not grown at all.
I see someone who trips but never falls.
If I were to hit the ground one time
Would I realize my clock had chimed?
That I can't continue to live like this.
That becasue of my actions I now have someone to miss.
I've finally fallen flat on my face.
Your love is something I can not replace.
And I just sit here looking at this mirror.
Wondering if this is all I have to fear.
I've said alot of things and never followed through.
But all my lies were always right on cue.
It's really cost me this time around.
I took you for granted, loneliness is what I've found.
If I could make this right I would.
But I'm going to do what I should.
I'll never forget you that much is true.
But the tears I've cried are through.
Maybe soon you will see.
That you really are meant for me.
And that I'm not the person I was before.
That this relationship won't be a chore.
I know this will take time so you can see.
How much of a change there will be in me.
Never again will my words hurt you.
All my negativity is through.
So now as I look in the mirror.
Everything before me is clear.
Change this thing that you call life.
End all the fighting and strife.
Then maybe one day we can be.
Happy together without a plea.
