I know you live in me
I see you thru my mirror
Present but some how so detached
From the person you were
The person I am
The person I may become
and it scares me

I have your eyes
Your lips
Your words
Your sadness
and it scares me

You were cruel
I'm caring
You were loveless
I am loving
You were thoughtless
I am thoughtful
You were reckless
I am cautious
and it scares me

Tying to escape
From who you were
Who I am
Trying to hold on
to who I was
and it scares me

I see you
I see me
So detached
but so present

**No longer scared
