When you find yourself, you will look into the mirrors and see a reflection of the abused
You will see how you carried them on your back
The scars on your eyes will remind you of sadness
The wounds on your mouth will not allow you to speak another word

No one will
That reflection is only a glimpse of what was and what will be
The mirrors will lie, tell you you're beautiful
But step a little closer, step a little closer
See failures that you overcame
See nights that you cried out and no one was listening
See you and all the lies and all the anguishing pain
Then smile and remember
There's no pain without pain
There's no pain without pain
There's no pain without pain
