Enemy in the Mirror

The thing about love is it's beautifully flawed
You can't turn it off, it will not be ignored

Sometimes it's a confusing and bloody mess
Constantly evolving, putting you to the test

I'm not an ugly person, I have done some ugly things
Try to see me standing before you and not my sins

Self loathing and desperation, my new reality
Both paying the price for my lesson in morality

Hindsight is torture, important and necessary pain
I swear to you all I won't be back here again

Hard to spot a mistake until it is done
The battle for perfection will never be won

Look deep in to my eyes you will see I have changed
She who stood here yesterday was broken and deranged

I know I am undeserving of your trust on this day
Please know I would rip out my heart before I would stray

I see my worst enemy when I look in the mirror
Through the smoke from my fire I see the world clearer
