I wish my eyes were a mirror
so you can see you as i see
your heart was crushed by an image
built by a cruel society

I wish my eyes were a mirror
So that i may help you to believe
that what they say is lies
and show you how you are to me

I wish my Heart could speak clearer
to help you understand
that you are the only person
that can fill my empty hands

I wish i could be your savior
Wipe away your fresh tears
i would gently say i love you
as i hold you through the years

And i wish my soul was a healer
to undo all of the pain
Make all their hostile efforts
finally end in vain

But to you im just a stranger
or "Just friends at best"
because you fear that i will hurt you
just like all the rest

So i wish my eyes were a mirror
So you can see you as i see
And ill continue to count the days
until you become one with me.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
