Mirror mirror, mirror on the wall
Tellin' those lies, pointing out your flaws
That isn't who you are
That isn't who you are

I always tried to tell him that he was perfect to me.

It might be hard to hear, but let me tell you dear
If you could see what I can see, I know you would believe
That isn't who you are
There's more to who you are

He never listened. Never took in one word I had to say. It's like it went in one ear and out the other.

So when it's late, you're wide awake
Too much to take
Don't you dare forget that in the pain
You can be brave, hear me say

We used to cuddle a lot, me mumbling sweet nothings in his ear and playing with his hair.

I see you dressed in white
Every wrong made right
I see a rose in bloom
At the sight of you (oh so priceless)
Irreplaceable, unmistakable, incomparable
Darling, it's beautiful
I see it all in you (oh so priceless)

Even when his hair was everywhere and he hadn't showered in a couple days, I would still tell him he was beautiful.

No matter what you've heard, this is what your worth
More than all the money or the diamonds and pearls
Oh this is who you are
Yea this is who you are

I would fall asleep and wake up in the middle of the night to him pacing at the foot of the bed, sometimes mumbling to himself.

So when it's late, you're wide awake
Too much to take
Don't you dare forget that in the pain
You can be brave, hear me say

He would always tell me about the dreams. How there were monsters and ugly things lurking, but then he would see me and they would go away. He said I was his guardian angel.

I see you dressed in white
Every wrong made right
I see a rose in bloom
At the sight of you (oh so priceless)
Irreplaceable, unmistakable, incomparable
Darling, it's beautiful
I see it all in you (oh so priceless)

He would tell me he didn't want to continue living and I would tell him that if he stopped he would be leaving me. He would contemplate it then look me in the eyes, tears pooling in them. He said he could never leave me, that the monsters would get him if he did. I told him that I would never let anyone hurt him ever again.

Sisters, we can start again
Give honor till the end
Love, we can start again
Brothers, we can start again
Give honor till the end
Yea, we can start again

One day he came up to me and said he wanted to start over. Without all the monsters and demons. I smiled and took his hand.

I see you dressed in white
Every wrong made right
I see a rose in bloom
At the sight of you

I told him all he had to do was focus on the good things, like starting over and how happy he is going to be.

I see you dressed in white
Every wrong made right
I see a rose in bloom
At the sight of you (oh so priceless)
(You're) irreplaceable, unmistakable, incomparable
Darling, it's beautiful
I see it all in you (oh so priceless)

He would always smile so much at me after that. Always laughing at every little thing. His eyes crinkling at the corners.

I see you dressed in white
Every wrong made right
I see a rose in bloom
At the sight of you

Only a few months after that I learned something that I didn't really want to.

I see you dressed in white
Every wrong made right
I see a rose in bloom
At the sight of you

Something I thought I'd never have to know.

I see you dressed in white
Every wrong made right
I see a rose in bloom
At the sight of you

That no one can really ever escape their demons. They come crawling back every time. Slowly making their way back into your mind and poisoning it again.

I see you dressed in white
Every wrong made right
Oh so priceless

He looked so perfect lying there. A real piece of art. The only thing wrong was that he wasn't breathing.

So I wrote this in like, 10 minutes(?) but I really like it and I hope you do too. Just to let you know, you can make it wither way you want. For Phil to be the one talking or Dan. Doesn't matter. -kaitlyn
