monster in the mirror

you made a mistake but doesn't everybody
why do i always bring it up, never let it be?
i was hurt but once, you already paid the price
will this heart only be satisfied, when whatever's left of you i have diced?

i made everyone turn against you, against the one i love
for this i deserve no forgiveness, not even from above
i lost all my sanity, nothing i do will make amend
how could i do that, knowing nobody will ever comprehend?

yet you stood there, silently taking it all
like a cliff, taking every beat of the waves
i keep hurting you, making you fall
you just picked yourself up, your pain you never rave

you never complain, even though i picked at your faults
always stood with me, when my heart battles with itself
walked with me when i walk, stop when i halt
always by my side, in front of me you've never put yourself

now that i looked at the mirror into my heart
i'm such a monster, never appreciate all you've done
everything you built, i would tore apart
everything you did, i would make it undone

you truly love me, yet i look at you with doubt
shower me with gifts, although you get nothing in return
listen and comfort me, during all my emotional bouts
but when you needed me, my back on you i've turn

so now i sit, hating myself for everything
cry my heart out, for i've hurt you deep
i can see you truly love me more than anything
for you desire nothing, but my love to keep

and slowly, quietly i choke back my tears
against all odds, nothing i shall be afraid of
i would stand with you amidst all these jeers
for you deserve none of it, but all of my love
