Only in your reflection do you see the carnage, but you’re beautiful to me. Your lips tremble as your glass heart breaks, we can build it up together, but we’ll use something strong…

The tragedy you seek is all around you
Why continue to give yourself pain?
Only in your reflection do you see the carnage
But you’re beautiful to me.
Your lips tremble as your glass heart breaks
We can built it up together but we’ll use something strong
Every time you smile a new world begins
Even though you cannot see it
It’s there, just for you
The nightmares that surround you
Eat your soul
Don’t you see that light behind you?
It says that real love can be true.
There are no fairy tales with princes trying to save you
The power is inside you
Someday the passion will not hurt
You realize it belongs to you
Someday you’ll close your eyes
And find yourself in that new world
Where happiness isn’t a lie and you don’t have to wait.
Even the brave’s heart can skip a beat,
His knees will tremble and eyes brim with tears,
He moves on and faces those fears.
Someday you will see him inside yourself
You truly are perfect and you’ll see
In your reflection
The beauty you bring.
