She takes off her clothes
And turns to look in the mirror
Harder and harder she stares at her reflection
But the image isn't getting any clearer
The sting of tears clouds her vision
The worst has happened, confirming her suspicion


This was a mistake, she screams
This was a mistake, don't trust in dreams
This was a mistake
Burning your name into my skin

A photograph in a shoebox
Brings her back to the past
Laughing and running she sees herself
She hates time, it flies too fast
Her breathing slows, her mind is calm
The memory of your smile is a soothing balm

This was a mistake, she breathes
Without you how am I to be free
This was a mistake
Leaving you, I lost myself completely

You are all that keeps me here.
On this ground so unstable
Your name in my skin and under my breath
Is all that keeps me here.
