Mirrors
Nothing to Offer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've earned everything that I have made.
Cross me if you think that you're so tough.
Until you see that I'm the one to evade.
My eyes (My eyes)
I'm blinded, defeated, I have been overcome.
This is the end I see, sent to eternity.
I'm broken, so broken.
A shadow of the man I once was.
I want you, I need you.
I'll perish if I don't find you soon.
You are everything that I looked up to.
Remind me of the trials I've been through.
Hours become days and then years,
We wear masks to help hide our fears.
These are my reflections
I will forgive you when you're on your knees in front of me.
Set free your mind, and we will wait and see
For this world to come to an end, so that I can breathe.
You trusted me to keep my promises,
You did not fail me, I am the one to blame.
I will pay for my actions when I face Judgment Day
I'm broken, so broken.
A shadow of the man I once was.
I want you, I need you.
I'll perish if I don't find you soon.
