Reflection

A look in the mirror
I see my face.
Is it.... is it really me?
Is this who I wanted to be?
Tear swollen eyes,
My make-up smudged.

I´m so sorry for showing my tears tonight.
I was a great actor for years.

Always pretending to be strong.
Hiding my grief deep inside.
Please, don´t come near
And don´t look at me.
´Cause no-one should see
The secrets I bear.

I´m so sorry, you saw me so weak tonight
But I can´t fight back my tears.

A look in the mirror
I see my face.
Each time it cries,
The tears sharp as knives.
Makes scars all over me,
Is that what you wanted to see?

I´m so sorry for showing my tears tonight.
I was a great actor for years.
I´m so sorry, you saw me so weak tonight
But I can´t fight back my tears.

When will I be able to forget?
When will my tears erase my memories?
Will my wounded soul stop bleeding?
Will I ever find redemption?
