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
