Reflections of a Changing Heart

Mirror mirror on the wall, who do I see today?

Changing faces, slipping away, trying to find my way

I’ve built a new shadow behind the past

Crafted a stranger who’s supposed to last

But the heart keeps echoing what’s true

The old version still fights for you

I chase a dawn that I can't truly catch

A hollow dream, an empty match

You look for me in a different hue

But I’m still me, just someone new

Growing into what I think I am not

Transforming, but tangled in the thought

The mirror shows a different face

But love’s not a game of time or space

Pretending I’m someone I’m not meant to be

Changing the mask, escaping me

In this new skin, I lose the view

Of what I was, of what is true

I chase a dawn that I can't truly catch

A hollow dream, an empty match

You look for me in a different hue

But I’m still me, just someone new

Growing into what I think I am not

Transforming, but tangled in the thought

The mirror shows a different face

But love’s not a game of time or space

Am I better, am I free?

Or just a shadow of who I used to be?

If I can’t match your eyes’ glow

Is this the man you need to know?

So I stand in this changing tide

Hoping love will not collide

With the stranger I become for you

Still searching for what’s true
