Cracked Mirror

Remember when you wore both masks
Played them all for fools at last?
(Wait)
Remember how you burst right in
You always were the brightest light
(Hey)
Remember how we worked on it
Now you'll never see it end

You faded like the sun and the mirror's cracked
That smile fooled everyone, but it was just an act
You were on the run, now you'll never come back
Your eyes fooled everyone
Now we're dressed in black

Remember when you held your son
It meant the world to everyone
(Hey)
Remember now your daughter's grown
A kinder person than I could be
(Wait)
Remember I was there with you?
You'd be with me if you could

You faded like the sun and the mirror's cracked
That smile fooled everyone, but it was just an act
You were on the run, now you'll never come back
Your eyes fooled everyone
Now we're dressed in black

Remember when we stole the goose
Slipped the swings tight in our noose
(Hey)
Remember when they called me you
We were so young: so full of hope
(Wait)
Remember how you came so close
So many goddamned times before

Please don't make me hate you for how it had to end
Please don't make me lie and say you weren't my friend
There's no need for you to play your clever act
There's no need now that the mirror's cracked

You faded like the sun and the mirror's cracked
That smile fooled everyone, but it was just an act
You were on the run, now you'll never come back
Your eyes fooled everyone
Now we're dressed in black
