lyrics

I could crush my heart with expectation
It's just easier to focus on yours
I'm made of mirrors
Substituting compassion for pure reflection and closing doors

Force of habit and self-interest
I lose track of you in an instant
Lack of care is a moment
But the trail of pain persists

I could try to love as myself
But that would require work and committment
You hold your breath so expectantly
Turning blue as you wait for me

Force of habit and self-interest
I lose track of you in an instant
Lack of care is a moment
But the trail of pain persists

I could crush my heart with expectation
It's just easier to focus on yours
I'm made of mirrors
Substituting compassion for pure reflection and closing doors
