[verse 1] Its taken me a lifetime to lose my way A lifetime, of yesterday's. I've begged the man in the mirror, to find my way I've begged the man in the mirror, to come home to me but Oh lord he just won't listen to me, he won't give in to me, he won't come home to me, come through for me, and I'm goin crazy, head is spacing, vision dazing, all while praying that he'll come home again I need you to help me find him (if it's worth the regret that your hangs in shame, can you look in the mirror and ask yourself) [chorus] How did it end this way? there was no reason So many things to say When can we breathe again? Watching our spark fade away from across time and space [instrumental] [verse 2] It's taken me a lifetime, to break free A lifetime of memories I begged the man in the mirror, to start to change I begged the man in the mirror, to set the stage The stage for our return from who we were and i know this can hurt and it can burn but once more I can't ignore that we can be so much more than who we were before I need you to help me show you (if it's worth the regret that your hangs in shame, can you look in the mirror and ask yourself) [chorus] How did it end this way? there was no reason So many things to say When can we breathe again? Watching our spark fade away from across time and space How did it end this way? there was so reason So many things to say [instrumental break] [bridge] I reject your conclusions I reject your delusions I reject your manipulations I only accept my assumptions That the more you promise to change..... The more you stay the same [instrumental] [chorus] How did it end this way? there was no reason So many things to say When can we breathe again? Watching our spark fade away from across time and space How did it end this way? there was so reason So many things to say When can we breathe again? Watching our spark fade from across time and space (let this bird fly away) [outro]
