On this blank page I see a mirror That’s reflecting me and deeper still It shines with all those wishes That I wish would be I see you standing there beside me Hand on my shoulder reassuringly You’re whispering something But I can’t quite make out the words What was it you were saying As you were leaving Why can’t I remember your last words Searching in the mirror deeper To find those words that left Such as impression on me That I can’t find them still To write them down to remind me Of all the things I did wrong that lead To that moment of frustration Where you gave up and I gave in And you swore to me never again As I look into the mirror it’s getting darker You’re further away than you’ve ever been Why can’t I find the words to remember To hold you here a little bit longer Maybe it’s me who is moving Maybe I’m finally moving along Leaving behind these blank pages Because the words on them are not for you They’re for a girl who I have yet to know The mirror is showing potential I’ve got to go find that potential Looking for those new words With new meanings With all their possibilities
