lyrics

Your face in the mirror seems unfamiliar.
you gaze a while in a melancholly haze thinking those were the days
when you were young and life was easier
where did it go when did it all turn to grey those truly were the days

The edges of your mouth all frayed and worn,
the pattern of your breath both tattered and torn
Standing in your room alone again standing at the door
do you risk it can you fix it can you even bare to
look back at that face anymore

Worry that you will worry that you won't
sorry that you sing sorry that you pawned your golden ring it never meant a thing
Window hanging open breeze blowing cold
you stand it for a while just to feel it in your bones just something to hold

The edges of your mouth all frayed and worn,
the pattern of your breath both tattered and torn
Standing in your room alone again standing at the door
do you risk it can you fix it can you even bare to
look back at that face anymore
