Even A Poor Mirror Tells No Lies

Johnny stays up late with me
Feeding me lies
He's my only friend
He took me from my family

Work took my soul
I gave up on the rest
'Til I saw the pain in her eyes
'Til I caused the pain in his

I wasn't me
I don't know if I can find him again
I am scared he's lost for good
I fear I killed my life

But I see the errors now
I still see the pains from the wrong
I'm going to fight to find him
And maybe, along the way,
I might find my dignity too,
And finally respect the mirror.

I've lied to myself before,
Ignored the truth,
Pretended to have control,
But really just killing my life.

I can make all the changes,
Except to change the past.
So I must live with regret,
And hope the future is there.

But I see the errors now
I see the pains from the wrong
I'm going to fight to find him

And maybe, along the way
I might find the dignity too,
And finally respect the mirror.
