I've lost my sense of self
I no longer know who I am
I used to have such self belief, see a strong man
Now all I see is a naked stranger
Staring at me vacantly from within my wall mounted mirror

Was it you who so callously took away my identity?
Was it you who made me question every value I held dear?
Was it you who drove me into the ground?
Was it you who set me upon this dark road I'm bound

I used to be so caring and unbitter  
I used to have such a sense of pride, where did it all get lost?
I watch all the meaningless relationships crumble to dust
To this distant hopeful feeling, hold onto I must

One day you'll look back to this, look back to what could have been
One day you'll look back with shame and pray I'll listen to you once again
One day I'll realise my efforts were in vain and overcome these pains
But as I lye here without a single ounce of regret,
I know it's you who'll realise what you've done and wake up in a cold sweat
