Lyrics

Do you see me when you look right through? Through the mirror I bet you do, Here’s a list of all the things I hate about you, Cause all your life you’ve been untrue, You’ve been untrue to yourself and that’s what hurts most, You’ve been untrue to me but that’s ok locked in a cliché, Hold that thought or that breath it’s all the same, But please don’t extinguish your cool blue flame
