Glass Echoes of You

Lyrics

It’s me in a room full of reflections, Every face knows all my confessions. I raise a glass just to feel alright, But I see you there in the fractured light. You’re not here, but you never leave, In every shadow, in what I breathe. I try to smile like I used to do, But that girl I see… she’s not me, it’s you. I’m breaking in these mirrors on the walls, Trying to rebuild from the pieces that fall. Every shard is screaming, “Stay this time,” But I can’t keep living in a lie. So I raise a glass to what we were, To every “someday” that never occurred. And in the reflection, I finally see — There’s no more you and there’s no more me. I learned how to silence every need, Just to keep us from breaking at the seams. You called it “time,” said it would pass, But I felt it fading, slipping fast. You didn’t shatter me — you erased, Slowly, gently, without a trace. Now in this room of glass and light, I meet myself for the first time tonight. I’m breaking in these mirrors on the walls, Trying to rebuild from the pieces that fall. Every shard is screaming, “Stay this time,” But I can’t keep living in a lie. So I raise a glass to what we were, To every “someday” that never occurred. And in the reflection, I finally see — There’s no more you and there’s no more me. If you had looked just once inside, Not at my face, but past my eyes… You would have seen I disappeared Long before I left you here. I never screamed, I stayed so still, But I was gone against my will… I’m breaking in these mirrors on the walls, Trying to rebuild from the pieces that fall. Every shard is screaming, “Stay this time,” But I can’t keep living in a lie. So I raise a glass to what we were, To every “someday” that never occurred. And in the reflection, I finally see — There’s no more you… And there’s no more me. Just me in a room… Where I finally breathe.
