Mirror For Your Despair Songtext
von Juley

We met in the quiet, like a fleeting flame
Summer dusk had no need for names
But you sketched a story in the sand too fast
Built cathedrals from the ruins of my past
You said it′s destiny, I felt the weight
Your words like locks on an iron gate
I never opened, I never signed
Still you carved your hope into my spine
So you believe that I was meant for you
That I'd choose nothing else to do
But run in your arms
You want me to feel with you all along
But you don′t care
All you need is a mirror for your despair
My truths are not lanterns to light your way
Don't chain me to the ghosts I've betrayed
I whispered mistakes from another time
But you crowned them reasons to call me "mine."
Your hunger dressed up as something pure
But affection is not an open door


I begged for respect, for the space to breathe
Your silence came sudden, sharp as teeth
Now the absence burns more than the plea
A ghost is all you′ve left for me
You want me to feel with you all along
But you don′t care
All you need is a mirror for your despair
Your longing's a cage that I can′t wear
I'm not the echo you seek in the air
No means no, but you heard "someday,"
You mistook my kindness for a promise to stay
I won′t let my spirit be laced in chains
Your storm will not flood my veins
You want me to feel with you all along
But you don't care
All you need is a mirror for your despair
I cut the rope, I claimed my song
And I′m stronger now that you are gone
Take your shadows, I won't wear
I'm not the mirror for your despair
