Every breath you breathe's an apology
Your eyes are all cried out
Every goodbye
Is a rest in peace
But every cut that bleeds
Led you to me

Every mirror you pass looks lonely
Your mind is cast with doubt
Every loathsome mistake
Echoes her name
But every cut that bleeds
Led you to me

In the absence of love, why
Did you covet the cover of night?
Maybe your true colors are lies
Do you bleed black and blue?
Or is that a disguise?

The echoes will fade in time
The echoes will fade in time
The echoes will fade in time
The echoes will fade in time

Friends and family are all out of sympathy
Your lies too big to hide
Now every time you pray
You burst into flames
But every cut that bleeds
Led you right to me

Maybe your true colors are lies
Do you bleed black and blue?
Or is that a disguise?

The echoes will fade in time
The echoes will fade in time
The echoes will fade in time
The echoes will fade in time
The echoes will fade in time

In the absence of love unknown courage flourishes
If that's not enough then steer clear of mirrors
