A Light in the Mirror

looking at life
through a window pane
feeling the wind rattle
and the pounding rain

looking back at all that i’ve been through
i see my struggles before me, and the pain
that’s when i see you
my fire flame

looking at life through breakaway glass
watching the scenes play out, alas
learning from each moment, day after day
wanting to dive through to save the day
looking at life through breakaway glass

you said that you loved me every night
but you treated me like a toy
and comeback like everything was alright
i believed you because no one else ever loved this boy

looking at life through breakaway glass
watching the scenes play out, alas
learning from each moment, day after day
wanting to dive through to save the day
looking at life through breakaway glass

and if i could i’d shatter this glass
reach into the past
help myself along
keep me from you, from the pain you caused

but then again

looking at life through breakaway glass
watching the scenes play out, alas
learning from each moment, day after day
the hurt made me stronger, made me this way

now i can go on living, paving my way
and when i meet her, she will know
i’ve been there, done that, grown
games are for children, and stands here a man
