She always looked like you
I tried, but I didn't know how to
Feeling on the outside
I closed my eyes and just tried to hide
But I found I couldn't will it all away
She was dark, she was cold
How was I supposed to keep control?
Kept my feet in the light
You still let me walk with you at night
But I felt so out of place and in the way
Wanting to be like you
But you said nobody else would do
You told me "never change"
But somehow my mind got rearranged
Came to you in the shadows and there I stayed
They all said I was gone
I told them "I'm still here and you're wrong"
Then looked in the mirror
And saw the awful truth I had feared
Became what I hated and my soul decayed
And now I've seen myself
Become one with the darkness itself
I've fallen so far down
You can never hope to reach me now
I guess I wasn't good enough for myself
Now when I see her face
My will disappears without a trace
How did I get down here
Where I can't even fathom her fear?
I don't think she'd ever see me in herself
So it was all a waste
I fell so far, so fast, in such haste
You were six feet under
Now I'm at twelve feet and life's a blur
I wanted to be like you, now I hate you
I'm too damaged to live
And there's nothing left inside to give
I've lost my faith in love
What was I ever so afraid of?
And why did I think I had to be like you?
