Is that me looking back from the mirror?
Is that me with the scars on her arms?
Is that me from a couple of minutes?
Is that me without a beating heart?
I drained the life from every rainbow
I made your eyes rain with tears
I killed your cheerful shining halo
It was me, it was me
I stare at all my loves they're dead
And I lose all my sanity
They're cold and I try so hard to warm them
But I never had mercy. It was me.
