lyrics

I'd gladly burden my life
To see that you got some rest, and some peace, from your strife
Just to help you feel comfortable again
To make you see that all of this is so much more than losing a friend

If I could
Take away the pain you feel so you won't harm yourself
Or jump under the bus, or give you all of my wealth
If I could do anything, I would give you some help
Because I love you too much, to let you go and watch as you fell

I've lived without you for some period of time
But I can't imagine an existence when you're not here by my side
I wish there were some way that I could get through to you
That I'm never far, and the ears you trust are always too few

But I can't escape this fear
That someday you won't be here
And that we're nearing the bottom, of this steady decline
And that we've passed all the warning signs

When you look in the mirror, is that all you can see?
A reflection of everything that you're starting to be?
But if you look really close, do you ever see me?

We know all the rules, and we know all the signs
We know the ways that we can both step over the lines
You mean so much to me, and it pains me to see
The culmination of the suffering and all the ways you believe

When you look in the mirror, is that all you can see?
A reflection of everything that you're starting to be?
But if you look really close, do you ever see me?

Do you ever see me?
