Analysis of Mirror



When you can't stand the person looking back at you anymore
When you leave all your riches and would rather be poor
Inside I know it's wrong but I want to settle the score
Just last night you couldn't live without me
Now today you have a new whore
All the suffering I endured
Hoping and praying our love was pure
You played me like a chess game
I should have realized years ago when the pain first came
Instead I praised you and let myself die
To believe you ever had my back was such a lie
I hope one day you feel all my fears
I pray one day you cry all my tears
Forgive me, I know I'm wrong
Still I wish you stay lost never knowing where you belong
So that you can feel the wrath of me
My pain because you never let me be free
