I buried you beneath my guilt

Now you stand before my eyes

A face I swore was mine alone

But it tears apart my lies

Your eyes are knives, they cut me deep

And carve away my name

You're the man I swore was gone

I'm the one you choose to blame

I thought I was you and I felt complete

But now you’re here, I see defeat

I'm the villain, how can I stay?

Am I crazy, or did I lose my way?

I found love in myself when I thought I was you

Now you stand before me...what can I do?

If you’re the piece that makes me whole

Do I owe you my heart, my mind, my soul?

I buried your name, but you never died

Now I see you, please forgive my crimes

Your voice was the hum inside my thoughts

A sound I called my own

But now I see, it was always just me

I was always completely alone

I built my world around the lie

That you were part of me

But seeing you alive again

I don’t know who I’m meant to be

I thought I was whole, but it wasn’t real

Now I’m lost in the way I feel

I see myself, but it’s not through my eyes

Am I broken, or was it a lie?

I found love in myself when I thought I was you

Now you stand before me...what can I do?

If you’re the piece that makes me whole

Do I owe you my heart, my mind, my soul?

I buried your name, but you never died

Now I see you, please forgive my crimes

I tried to erase you, but I erased myself

Love became the lie I told for my health

But now you’re here, and the truth is clear

I loved you in me, but I love you here

I found love in myself when I thought I was you

But now you’re here, and I see what's true

You’re the part that makes me whole

Not just my heart, but my mind, my soul

I buried your name, but you never died

Now I see you, please forgive my crimes

I thought I was whole when I thought I was you

Just delusions I know, now I'm looking at you

But will you forgive me for all that I’ve done?

Or leave me to suffer as I come undone?
