Summary: About someone who doesn't like what he is seeing.




Why do you look at me like that?
You think you know me, but you don't
Every flaw, every insignificant blemish

You turn them against me
Makes me want to vomit when I see what you've become
But who wouldn't?

I remember you used to be different
I remember when you looked happy
I remember...

Days go by and you never smile
"Is it all worthwhile?"

So here i sit, unwanted and unused
A thousand miles away from you
Thinking "I remember when"

On reflection...

I never knew a mirror could hold so much truth
