Sequels & songwriters

This is all a reflection of this shattered mirror
An image so distorted I can't tell what's really here
Broken history as your dreams hit the ground
Just like your favorite movie's sequel
I'm a hundred percent sure to let you down

You'll be safe for awhile
Nobody is safe when you flash your smile
Time will tell
I wish I could say that I wish you well

But I've given all that I have (These nights are never-ending)
I can't stand the things that you say (When can I stop pretending?)
I need some time to think this through (I'm better off alone)
Can't go on living this way

Day by day, we go throughout our lives
Trapped behind the one-way glass but blinded from the other side
Start the fights, throw on your CDs and pout
And listen to those songs about the dumb girls that guys like me write about

We fight, we've cried
It's alright, it's alright
We've tried, we fight
It's time to give up

I've given all that I have (These nights are never-ending)
I can't stand the things that you say (When can I stop pretending?)
I need some time to think this through (I'm better off alone)
Can't go on living this way
