When I Look in the Mirror

Like a tornado spins around

I feel my life a mess

Not what I intended

This I must confess

 

All I wanted

Was to love sincere

To be everlasting

And not disappear

 

No one knows how many tears

A heart can cry

Till you look back on your life

Without answers of why

 

When tomorrow comes

It’ll soon turn into yesterday

Leaving me to wonder

What happened to today

 

The dreams that live forever

And the dreams that fade away

The ones that never give up on me

Why they haunt me still today

 

When I look in the mirror

Who stares back at me?

The man I am

Or who I wanted to be
