I look in the mirror, and what do I see, a guy, he looks just like me.
His eyes are white and empty, and he smiles so demonically, the type
Of demonic smile that fools you like everything about him makes him a good guy.
I stare, stare in fear, and it's clear he is blind, his eyes the color of scars
And experiences out of spite. Your stupid he tells me, love doesn't exist.
He says I'm only going to get hurt, I should save myself, I should go.
I should go and play with different girls, and keep that one special girl.
I shake, and fidget, and say, you stupid pig, if she is so special then,,,
Commitment is there. He says you cried so many times, that is not like,,,, the old you. I say I like the new me, I'm more in touch with my feelings, and that's what I'll like to do to be a great hubby. He laughs, and says you fool, you will only get hurt, and cry and wither away like the season FALL,
That season is perfect for you because these girls, if you lay your heart, you will fall. I say falling is part of progress, it's how people measure things, you fall and rise back up. And she isn't just any girl, she is my love, and your blind
To that feeling, a feeling that's just as good as rising above. You make me sick, I cant believe you were me, yeah I argue a lot with her, but it betters me.
I'm the new me now, I would never try and do her dirty, no matter if I'm sad or hurt, she is right for me. Don't creep up me again, old me, your like a devil,
And your temptation won't hold me. Leave this mirror, no I'll leave myself.
Temptation will come and you will be there smiling and extending your hand.
No, I won't shake it, I'll ignore your plead.
My old me smiles, shakes his head, ok, I guess this is good-bye, but remember I'll always be right there. I look at him, and smile myself.
You will go away soon, become extinct, so beware, I'll prove myself soon,
And you will be right there. I'll send you to your bottomless pit, so devil begone!
I start walking away, and my old self rambles on! I don't trust her Geovanni, you will see, when you do end up getting hurt, you will end up running back to me.
