I look into the glass and see your trace,

The names you called me echo in the hall,

I’m waiting for the other shoe to fall,

While trying to outrun my own disgrace.

I’m trapped inside this cold and hollow space,

With back against a sharp and jagged wall,

I’m feeling so pathetic and so small,

Because you left a scar I can't erase.​

I think about the secrets that you kept,

The phone you hid, the faces in the dark,

You took a match to every single spark,

And laughed at all the bitter tears I wept.

Into a web of quiet lies I stepped,

You left a deep and permanent hallmark,

A cruel and calculated, biting bark,

While I was broken, lonely, and unkept.​

You can try to pretend the past is gone,

And tell yourself that you have moved away,

But deep inside the damage starts to root,

You’re waking up to another gray dawn,

Where every single word he used to say,

Is bearing such a bitter, heavy fruit.​

I’m dying for the man I used to be,

Before you turned your venom loose on me,

And traded in my trust for someone else,

I’m trying but I simply can't feel free,

I’m drowning in a deep and lonely sea,

Because I’ve lost the image of myself.
