[Verse]
Twelve long years behind that steel door
Lost peaches and pea corn scattered on the floor
The world moved on while I stood still
Time don’t heal what it don’t will
[Chorus]
I’m trying to be something
Something she can see
But the man in the mirror don’t agree
Lost her heart
Lost her trust
Trying to rise from all this rust
[Verse 2]
The woman I loved
She slipped away
Her laughter haunts me every day
Her voice was a light
Now it’s a ghost
A whisper of love that hurts the most
[Prechorus]
I carved regret into my skin
But freedom starts from deep within
[Chorus]
I’m trying to be something
Something she can see
But the man in the mirror don’t agree
Lost her heart
Lost her trust
Trying to rise from all this rust
[Bridge]
The chains I wear ain’t made of steel
They’re forged from guilt I can’t conceal
Her picture fades but not the pain
I’d trade my soul to love again
