I tried to forget the stupid things you've done
the times you hurt not just me but everyone

you’re carved from the pain you’ve been through I know
but all this happened such a long long time ago

you’re the saddest traveller I have ever seen

you bought a brand new hat and left without farewell
but wherever you go you can't escape yourself

with that rebel heart of yours you can't hold still
you always end up tearing down the home you built

and it seems there’s only one way to be free
so I face you in the mirror and come clean

in an empty parking lot you made a deal
to take your damn pride off the steering wheel
to let go of fear and right the wrongs at last
and to rewrite the fucked up story of your past

as the world has nothing more to give to you
and your heart’s too beaten up to soldier through
yes they say only forgiving is the key
so I look into the mirror and come clean

and it seems there’s only one way to be free
so I face you in the mirror and come clean.
