All alone now

Except for the memories

Of what we had and what we knew

Every time I try to leave it behind me

I see something that reminds me of you

Every night the dreams return to haunt me

Your rosary wrapped around your throat

I lie awake and sweat, afraid to fall asleep

I see your face looking back at me

And I raise my head and stare

Into the eyes of a stranger

I've always known that the mirror never lies

People always turn away

From the eyes of a stranger

Afraid to know what

Lies behind the stare

Is this all that's left

Of my life before me

Straight jacket memories, sedative highs

No happy ending like they've always promised

There's got to be something left for me

And I raise my head and stare

Into the eyes of a stranger

I've always known that the mirror never lies

People always turn away

From the eyes of a stranger

Afraid to know what

Lies behind the stare [Lies behind my stare]

How many times must I live this tragedy

How many more lies will they tell me

All I want is the same as everyone

Why am I here, and for how long

And I raise my head and stare

Into the eyes of a stranger

I've always known that the mirror never lies

People always turn away

From the eyes of a stranger

Afraid to know what

Lies behind the stare
