Scales Tipping Back

[Verse 1] Looking back at the ledger of my life Counting up the darkness, counting up the light Heavy on the left, heavy on the right Standing in the mirror in the middle of the night [Chorus] Can you call yourself a good person When you balance out the good and the bad? Is it the mercy that you gave away, Or the quiet little damage that you had? Can you call yourself a good person When the scales keep tipping back? [Verse 2] Stumbled in the shadows, built a couple bridges too Fixed a couple broken hearts, broke a couple through Every shadow leaves a trace, every act stays true Who is looking back at me, who is looking back at you? [Chorus] Can you call yourself a good person When you balance out the good and the bad? Is it the mercy that you gave away, Or the quiet little damage that you had? Can you call yourself a good person When the scales keep tipping back? [Outro] Good and bad, light and shade Counting every promise made Are we good, or just trying to be? Standing in the mirror, set me free
