Reflection

My eyes are daggers stabbing my reflection in the water
I hate you, I hate me
Who is that hideous man looking back at me?
What does he want with me?

I've got a smile that needs work because it's never right
The only person I can make direct eye contact with is my reflection
My hair never quite looks right
I have to try to walk confidently

I can never feel good enough -- for anything
There's always too much or never enough
I can't stand these mirrors
But I can't possibly be wrong

It's not another bad day, it's my everyday
I lost the magic when the last autumn leaves fell
My life ended when the last snowflake perished on the asphalt
Sun's don't shine in this world

My life's just out of line
And I can't help but breakdown and cry
My mind is a hurricane without a calm aftermath
How am I to carry on?

I curl up in bed every night
I'm thinking about the should-have-been
The night is never long enough
I'm not ever going to speak the same way again

And when the next day starts, she won't even know it
My fake smiles aren't that believable
Just ask me, just walk up to me, just talk to me
I'll try not to shed a tear or two...
