I see my reflection in the mirror
I see others holding hands
I think I found out long ago
I’m not your average man

I’ve missed opportunities a plenty
I've had more than my fair share
Great tragedies have befallen me
And have caught me unprepared

My ineptitude to reason
Is what’s breaking in my heart
It’s left me pondering the future
That has torn my life apart

I’ve not yet recovered
My inner cupboards are all bare
My bleeding heart feels for another
Even though they're unaware

As I take steps in moving forward
Leaving my sorrows in the past
I’ll trade grey days into colored ones
While lying on the grass

I'm picking up the pieces
Where I once felt solid gold
A melting *** of memories
Some new as well some old

I cast shadows in the bright lit sun
I set my bar too high
My feet are knee deep in the sand
And I have no reason why

I conjure up some courage
From where, I’m not too sure
Maybe hidden in my reflection
Or whom it is I’m waiting for

I’ve taking steps to forge a bond
I’m bound to see this through
With the waving of my magic wand
I’m relinquished and anew
