Hearing a certain song It broke me I've had it all wrong And now I don't know what to do You've been with me all along I see myself in you And the problems you go through I don't know what we are supposed to do I'm right there with you and everything you go through I hear you say And then we make it through another day One more day then you're through f They are the problems I go through too I don't know what we're supposed to do I'm with you so far and somehow we've gotten through I am myself and you You are the reflection I see The reflected view The mirror shows this one Myself and you Not as two The staircase you climb in silent I climb those steps too Your view like it was pay-per-view And no one's paying to be a part of it I exist in the consequences right along with you Jimmy lit a lantern He prepared for the fall But his was something different On his own path in his own time he took his call But he left you a gift for his lantern shed some light, it gave you a different view For once you saw yourself Much like I see you Standing proud standing tall You don't know what's holding you up there or how you got there at all And so your staircase crumbles In shambles Do you use the crumbled remains and you build a brick and mortar wall And I'm right there next to you I see you through it all I am right there beside you I see myself in you I always answer your call I am myself Myself is in you You tend to see us as separate As two When reality is I am myself in you And I'm alongside you And go through everything you go through The mere reflex A distorted view You see yourself as one With me standing right next to you Going through pictures Memories of the past You don't recognize yourself You never say oh that's me Heartbreaks every time you ask My only reply is that's who you'll be We're so close we're in the same skin But you keep looking for someone Possibly trying to get in And I'm right here next to you Where I've always been You don't see it when you have your own view And I can't seem to get through to you So I stay close always at your side Take the same footsteps Same stairs you climb And participate in the life you view as your own The reflection I see as mine There is no battle, we don't need to war That's not why I'm with you That's not what I came for You don't remember because at that time you prayed for death You were wishing for your last breath I came to you and I've never left When people ask You say I Am the hitchhiker you picked up and never left You say it matter of factly and chuckle under your breath That's when you say I'm a part of you Apart you never outgrew But the truth reflected in the mirrors view Is now we are one but you see us as two I see myself in you I always have it's true Years ago you decided you didn't exist The mirror reflected only me But in your mind Having forgot the climb Viewing as if an outsider The reflection in the mirror Was always mine Stand by you through passages of time The mirrored truth You believe yourself The view Is me in the mirror Reflected as you And instead of only one You see us it's true I see myself in you As one Although you see us As two I see myself in you
