Ethereal verses, contrasted with a hard-hitting chorus.
Lyrics
I tried to change for you.
Tried to be what you wanted me to be.
Gave up my rights to individuality
And gave my soul away.
I gave you control 'til there was nothing left.
Now when I look at myself
I don't know who's looking back at me.
Chorus:
When I look in the mirror lately,
I don't like what I see.
Is there anything
That's left of me?
I don't feel like me.
I don't feel like me.
This is how it starts:
A word at a time, a thought out of mind,
Decisions that aren't mine until
You have turned me into
A gilded bird in a lead cage.
When did this turn into my eulogy?
I don't remember.
But now I find it's time to be reborn
While I still have time to turn this all around.
Chorus:
When I look in the mirror lately,
I don't like what I see.
Is there anything
That's left of me?
I don't feel like me.
I don't feel like me.
This is where I will make my stand,
Trying to figure this all out.
I've killed myself a breath at a time
Trying to make these confusing ideas fit.
When I put two and two together,
It all screams I can live without you.
Chorus:
When I look in the mirror lately,
I don't like what I see.
Is there any- is there any- is there anything
That's left of me?
I don't feel like me.
I don't feel like me.
