Mercy Mirror

We are forever as one
In what remains
You're in my blood
From the cradle to the grave
And I don't like to think about the pieces
All the cracks and the bricks that still remain
If I could breathe
I'd ask you
To look in my mercy mirror
I need you more than I know
To look in my mercy mirror
'Cause I'm not ready to let you go
Now I know, now I know
I'm not ready to let you go
Now I know, now I know
I'm not ready to let you go
My heart
My heart
Like the planet the Sun forgot
We're down
Holding to the light that I have lost
More than words that the silence teaches
How to see and to feel what is real
Until somebody reaches my soul
To look in my mercy mirror
I need you more than I know
To look in my mercy mirror
'Cause I'm not ready to let you go
Now I know, now I know
I'm not ready to let you go
Now I know, now I know
I'm not ready to let you go
It's a wicked game I play
How I use and turn to waste
No turning round, touching ground
What we had was so much more than I'd realize
If I could I'd embrace
Embrace you
And to look in my mercy mirror
I need you more than I know
And to look in my mercy mirror
'Cause I'm not ready to let you go
Now I know, now I know
I'm not ready to let you go
Now I know, now I know
I'm not ready to let you go
I'm not ready to let you go
