Mirror image come to life,
I watched you as you'd sleep at night
Seeing the lids of my own eyes,
How they'd flutter as you cried
Reddened cheeks like blood on snow
I held you close and whispered low
Words of comfort, murmured soft
I'll save you, I don't care the cost.
Matching faces, different hearts,
Whispered secrets in the dark
lowered voices, quite noises
horrible, destructive choices
sharing was our second nature
loving was our biggest danger
Promises I couldn't keep
Pushing you away from me
Break my word and break your heart
Tear our fragile world apart
A princess dressed in paupers rags
Came along and took my hand
She made me laugh, and you looked on
As I left you all alone
I'm sorry love, I saw an out
I had to take a chance
I couldn't let the game play on,
I care too much, it's so fucked up
I couldn't stick around
