Speaker A
You'd understand why I hate my reflection.
Speaker A
If you could see me the way I see myself, you'd turn away disgusted, wanna be somewhere else behind this mask I'm wearing, there's a man that fell, I've been dragging broken pieces through my own private hell.
Speaker A
Ain't no glory in the story that I keep on a shelf, if you could see me the way I see myself.
Speaker A
I ain't a hero, I'm a haunted house of boarded doors.
Speaker A
Every room a different trauma, blood stains on the floors.
Speaker A
I smile in the mirror but it cracks when I stare, cause the man looking back is a ghost of despair.
Speaker A
I've lied, I've lost, I've failed more times than I can count.
Speaker A
Built a throne out of pain with my guilt as the crown.
Speaker A
Every compliment you give me, I just shrug and deny, cause I don't see what you see, I just see reasons why.
Speaker A
I ain't enough, just a shadow in a crowd full of lights.
Speaker A
Trying to fix what's been broken but the screws won't tighten right.
Speaker A
I'm the sum of my mistakes, I'm the weight I can't steal.
Speaker A
I'm a wound that never closes, I'm a scar that won't heal.
Speaker A
If you could see me the way I see myself, you'd turn away disgusted, wanna be somewhere else behind this mask I'm wearing, there's a man that fell, I've been dragging broken pieces through my own private hell.
Speaker A
Ain't no glory in the story that I keep on a shelf.
Speaker A
If you could see me the way I see myself.
Speaker A
I laugh when I'm low, I pretend I'm okay.
Speaker A
But the mirror shows scars I can't wash away.
Speaker A
I replay my regrets like a film in rewind.
Speaker A
All the people that I hurt, all the bridges I fried.
Speaker A
I'm ashamed of the anger, mask it with the weed.
Speaker A
How I bury all my pain underneath this need.
Speaker A
To be seen as something better than the mess that I am.
Speaker A
But deep down I know I'm barely even half a man.
Speaker A
I hide behind the bottle, I disguise every flaw.
Speaker A
But when the silence hits at night, I can't lie to myself at all.
Speaker A
You call me strong but I feel brittle and small.
Speaker A
Like one more failure might just shatter it all.
Speaker A
If you could see me the way I see myself, you'd turn away disgusted, wanna be somewhere else behind this mask I'm wearing, there's a man that fell.
Speaker A
I've been dragging broken pieces through my own private hell.
Speaker A
Ain't no glory in the story that I keep on a shelf.
Speaker A
If you could see me the way I see myself.
Speaker A
It's hard to love who you hate.
Speaker A
When he's under your skin, hard to start over.
Speaker A
When you don't know where to begin.
Speaker A
I've been praying for forgiveness from the man in the sky.
Speaker A
But he don't speak back, just remind me of my why.
Speaker A
So I try to self doubt, I decay in my head.
Speaker A
Every dream feels distant, every hope long dead.
Speaker A
But maybe there's a reason not to wake up and breathe.
Speaker A
Maybe broken means the end, maybe cracks let you bleed.
Speaker A
Till you learn to be you and that means you'll never be pure.
Speaker A
And the flaws that you hide are the scars that endure.
Speaker A
So I whisper to that mirror, I'm still trying, I swear.
Speaker A
Even if I hate the man who's always staring back there.
Speaker A
If you could see me the way I see myself, you'd turn away disgusted, wanna be somewhere else.
Speaker A
Behind this mask I'm wearing, there's a man that fell.
Speaker A
I've been dragging broken pieces through my own private hell.
Speaker A
Ain't no glory in the story that I keep on a shelf.
Speaker A
If you could see me the way I see myself.
Speaker A
Would you still love me then?
