It's been a while but once again I find myself in front of a mirror unable to remember how I got here
It's me, I know that, but I keep waiting for her to tell me exactly why I stand here
Because I don't want to do the work of finding out so I rely on someone else
But the only one I have is myself
Oh wait, that's not true
I have my old teddy bear, and I have spring waiting for me around the corner.
It's spring again, it's been a year since I stood exactly where I stand right now, I haven't moved an inch
And still that reflection refuses to tell me what I need to hear.
It's me, all of it
My teddybear is me, it certainly isn't someone else
maybe spring is me, too.
You can turn away but she's still there, so you close your eyes but she's still there
You can walk around the earth but she'll still be there
I'll still be there
And I think I'll need to rip my own neck off to get rid of me
