When I look in the mirror
I don’t like what I see
But it’s not just because
What I see is so ugly

It’s because
What stares back at me
Is a reflection of what
I don’t want to be

I see desperate eyes
Bereft of soul
I see that living my life
Has taken it’s toll
I see that I am utterly
Out of control

Will I ever be able to
Lift my head with pride
When I see the man I’ve become
When I see this man inside

And will I ever grab hold
Of all that I’ve been denied
I told myself that I would do better
But I guess I must have lied
