You must excuse me, but this morning
I woke as someone else I fear
My reflection was a stranger
I'd been living with for years
A face that's marked with features
I had never even seen
And it felt like someone else's heart
Now beat where mine had been
It is unsettling to find
You're not the person you had thought
Like a photo where a side of you
You cannot view is caught
So forgive me if my voice shakes
It is weak with underuse
But it is time that my reflection
And myself were introduced
