I take a look at myself
Feeling shattered from within
Putting up the hand you held
To my distorted reflection
Is it really all the steam?
Or are they tears that blur my sight?
Knowing only in my dreams,
will I be seeing you tonight
I write your name with my finger
Watch the manmade dewdrops linger
And I realize that you’re still not fully gone
Like writing on a bathroom mirror
When the smog starts to disappear
Though the letters start fade
Your impression still remains
Fingerprints on my reflection
Just the ghost of your affections
Though the glass begins to clear
I know that you’re still here
I take a moment to remember
How you looked like when you grinned
Put your hands up in surrender
Getting lost in the moment
Is it really just me?
Or is the world just not the same?
Knowing only in memory
will it be seeing your face.
But tracing your name with my finger
Watching the manmade dewdrops linger
I realize that you’re still not fully gone
Like writing on a bathroom mirror
When the smog starts to disappear
Though the letters start fade
Your impression still remains
Fingerprints on my reflection
Just the ghost of your affections
Though the glass begins to clear
I know that you’re still here
Wish I could be like Alice
And walk right through the looking glass
To find you in Wonderland
And not just in a waning past
Wiping your name with my fingers
Watching the manmade dewdrops linger
I realize that you’re not gone at all
Like writing on a bathroom mirror
When the smog starts to disappear
Though the letters start fade
Your impression still remains
Fingerprints on my reflection
Just the ghost of your affections
Though the glass begins to clear
I know that you’re still here
