If I Could Change Your Mind

I know that we must be careful
For what we wish for

It could be the last thing

Could be the very last thing we need
Only in hindsight do we realize this
Unless we see it staring us in the face
Like we see our own
Damn reflection in the mirror

Changing our appearences as easily as we wash our
Hands clean of things we wish we never did
Always going to be some reminder; some stain
Never to
Go away
Everyone is stained

You just can't see all
Of the messed
Up lives around you, but you
Remember that the pain is only a

Mask that we hide behind
I still hide behind mine
Not wanting to give up the comfort of it because I
Don't want my heart broken again
