Self Esteem

I look in the mirror, what do I see?
A faded reflection, not who I used to be
Once full of dreams, now a heart full of doubt
I remember the laughter, now it's hard to shout

On those summer nights, when we danced in the rain
With you by my side, I felt no pain
But time's like a thief, and it stole all my light
Now I'm just chasing shadows, lost in the night

So I'll saw my head off, keep the good parts inside
Memories of laughter, where my heart used to ride
But the mirror's a liar, it reflects all my scars
Just a failed man standing, beneath fading stars

Used to taste hope, like sweet lemonade
But sour's the flavor that life's made today
I remember the warmth of your hand in mine
Now it's just echoes, lost in the grind

The scent of old pine from the woods we'd roam
Now feels like a ghost, as I sit here alone
I trace back the moments, where did they go?
In the silence I hear, the heartache's low blow

So I'll saw my head off, keep the good parts inside
Memories of laughter, where my heart used to ride
But the mirror's a liar, it reflects all my scars
Just a failed man standing, beneath fading stars

So I'll carry the good, let the bad drift away
And maybe one morning, I'll find my way
Though I'm just a silhouette in this life's cruel game
I'll hold to the memories, and never be the same

I look in the mirror, and I see a failed man
Once had high hopes, now I can't even stand
Staring at a shadow of who I used to be
With ghosts of my glory haunting me

Remember summer nights under a restless sky
Stars shining bright, felt like I could fly
But now the weight's heavy, and the laughter's all gone
I'm lost in the silence, where did I go wrong?

Oh, I'm breaking apart, piece by piece
Trying to find the light, searching for some peace
In this mirror's reflection, what do I see?
Just the broken bits of a faded memory

I think of the laughter that danced on my tongue
With friends at the bar, when I was so young
The smell of fresh whiskey, the warmth in the room
Now it's just echoes, a bittersweet tune

And in those old photographs, smiles never fade
But they tell a story of dreams that were made
I wanted the world, but I lost my way home
Now here I am standing, feeling so alone

Oh, I'm breaking apart, piece by piece
Trying to find the light, searching for some peace
In this mirror's reflection, what do I see?
Just the broken bits of a faded memory

I'll saw my head off, keep the good parts inside
The laughter, the love, the joy that won't hide
I'll sew up the pieces, make a new start
Find the beauty in scars, and heal my heart

Oh, I'm breaking apart, piece by piece
Trying to find the light, searching for some peace
In this mirror's reflection, what do I see?
Just the broken bits of a faded memory

So here's to the journey, no matter how long
I'll pick up the fragments, and sing my own song
With each crack in the glass, I'll see who I am
Not just a reflection, but a hopeless man
Or maybe hopeful
