Lyrics
Once was a time
Reflecting on a past time
I'd give the world to you
I was deeply committed and willing to give everything
But it was never enough
But my efforts were insufficient
Swore by your hand
I made promises based on your influence
But you never told the truth
You lacked honesty in your actions
That's when I saw myself in you
Realized my own flaws mirrored in you
I'm rotten inside
I feel corrupted internally
I'm weak and I'm frightened
Emotionally feeble and afraid
Of the things that you might find
Anxiety about the truths you may uncover
I'm rotten inside again
Reiteration of feeling corrupted and scared
I'm weak and I'm frightened
Reiteration of feeling internally feeble and frightened
Of the things that you might find
Concern over potential revelations
What could I do to make everything all right
Desire to rectify the situation
Left me again
You left me as expected
Like I always thought you'd do
As anticipated, you departed
That's when I saw myself in you
Recognition that I mirrored your behavior
And though I try
Despite attempts, unable to erase memories
I can't forget
Cannot erase the way you viewed me
The way you looked at me and said
Recollection of your words and their impact
