[Verse]
Hey kid I see you there wide-eyed and strong
Dreams of the future where nothing goes wrong
But here I stand now with shadows in my chest
I'm sorry I failed you I tried my best
[Chorus]
You would barely recognize yourself today
The light in your eyes feels so far away
I’m crying to you through this mirror of time
I lost your hope but I swear I’m still trying
[Verse 2]
Your hands were steady your heart was pure
Now they tremble and ache I’m not so sure
The laughter you had it echoes like a ghost
I broke your promise the one I needed most
[Chorus]
You would barely recognize yourself today
The light in your eyes feels so far away
I’m crying to you through this mirror of time
I lost your hope but I swear I’m still trying
[Bridge]
I know I let you down I see it in your face
But the world’s a harder place than I could embrace
I carry the weight of what you could’ve been
I’m sorry my friend I let the darkness win
[Chorus]
You would barely recognize yourself today
The light in your eyes feels so far away
I’m crying to you through this mirror of time
I lost your hope but I swear I’m still trying
