Blind by the Mirror

The hurt wasn't the cheatin', it was all those ordinary days

While I was livin' in the dark, you were lightin' up your ways

I looked at you and felt so safe like the storm couldn't get through

But you already knew the whole time what I was holdin' onto you

Now I'm standin' by the sea

Watchin' truth break on the shore

Every wave keeps tellin' me I can't go back there anymore

I was blinded by the mirror

Saw the pain through your window glass

Now I'm learning that a broken heart

Can still outlast the past

Meet me again

But half the way you knew me then

See the person I became after I lost you in the end

People judge through their own eyes

But they ever saw my fight

I don't need another chance

I just need you to see me right

No matter how good I was, they still painted me with doubt

Like a shadow on the water, they just read me wrong somehow

Get my head above the tide even when it pulled me under

Every scar became a lesson, every silence turned to thunder

Now I'm standing by the sea

Watching truth break on the shore

Every wave keeps telling me I can't go back there anymore

I was blinded by the mirror

Saw the pain through your window glass

Now I'm learning that a broken heart

Can still outlast the past

Meet me again

But not the way you know me then

See the person I became after I lost you in the end

People judge through their own eyes

But they never saw my fight

I don't need another chance, romance

I just need you to see me run

If you saw me now, you know I didn't disappear

I was caught by all the wreckage, I was shaped by every tear

And the sea keeps my confession, let it carry what I can't save

I am not the man I was when you let me drift away

Meet me again, but not the way you knew me then

See the person I became after I lost you in the end

People judge through their own eyes, but they never saw my fight

I don't need no chance

I just need you to see me right
