Twenty years in the dark, I never saw your face Every scar you gave me, I swore it was embrace You raised your hand, I called it care You broke my soul, I breathed your air All my life, I thought that this was how it felt Beatings felt like kisses, pain was how you dealt From the parents that I never had, to the ones who passed me by I carried every monster, never learned to say goodbye Ever since I was a child… the damage ran so deep Now I see the truth… and I just can’t fucking sleep This isn’t love… this is pain I was blind, now I see the chain The mirror I’m looking in… is staring back a monster And those eyes… they’re mine… I’ve been sleeping with a monster… all this time! [Verse 2 – Heavier, more urgent] Mental blades and broken bones, you wore me like a crown Every tear you caused me, I just laid back down I thought if I loved harder, you would finally change But the only thing that changed… was the size of my cage Monsters from my childhood, they never really left They just learned to wear your skin, they just learned to call it “us” This isn’t love… this is pain Twenty years lost inside the rain The mirror I’m looking in… is staring back a monster And those eyes… they’re mine… I’ve been sleeping with a monster… all this time! I finally see you… I finally see me… The reflection in these eyes… was never who I’m supposed to be I’m done being your victim… I’m done wearing your scars The monster in the mirror… I’m ripping it apart… This isn’t love! This is pain! I was blind, now I see the chain! The mirror I’m looking in… is staring back a monster! And those eyes… they’re mine! I’ve been sleeping with a monster… But not tonight! Not tonight… Not anymore… The monster in the mirror… I don’t see you anymore…
