I walk to the bathroom, I mean I mostly just stumble
I reach for my phone but I mostly just fumble
But I feel proud, yeah all my fears crumble
Though when I start to talk I mostly just mumble
Don’t listen to my words, take it in all as noise
Forget what I say when I drink with the boys
And baby I don’t mean it when I raise my voice
It’s just I feel like I don’t have a choice
Its then that I notice that awful mirror
Reflecting back at me so many wasted years
I was blinded by comfort when I was really full of fear
I poured out my drink like I poured out my tears
I fell to the floor when I saw the pain I resembled
I felt so cold that I began to tremble
So I crawl off to bed and think how quietly you breathe
How perfect you are when you are asleep
When I lay close I can hear you dream
Of the most wonderful, loveliest things
But then like my pride you left in the morning
Leaving me to suffer without a warning
