I will place you on this pedestal Display the crown you wear so well Is it shallow beneath the layers of your skin To pull out all the beauty that lies within? Daylight breaks I start again Push myself to move ahead Is this the beginning of the end? CHORUS What am I anyway but a word on your page? I'm held by another's hands Silenced by fate This mirror shows another man one Weathered by age and I know now That he's alone And I've been erased Forgive me if I'm unaware The motives in the compliments you share Lifted yet confused by my old friend An innocence I'll never have again Love me not or love me so Honestly I'll never know Reality doesn't live here anymore CHORUS
