Covered eyes can hardly see the truth Shreds of hope turn to despair Gradually peeling tainted shell Showing glances of humility Who does not wish to be adored? While my heart can't stand to owe vanity isn't willing to pay for everything I know Time and faith shall guide me every way I'll go Now every day I leave behind has left me blind for all that is yet to come Still my life has cleared away my agony No one can ever hear my cry See me try to stop what's already done All the odds are standing now before me I cannot give myself to thee Here your heart will never grow Vanity will never set me free so I have to let you go Now every day I leave behind has left me blind for all that is yet to come Still my life has cleared away my agony No one can ever hear my cry See me try to stop what's already done All the odds are standing now before me Woman, you shouldn't spend your love on me You'll waste your days in woe Now my heart will belong to none but me What my own reflection shows For years, I was drowning in my reflections Searching for any glimpse, any record of you Found a man haunted by his faith, eluded by his vanity Will I ever find you, truth? Now every day I leave behind has left me blind for all that is yet to come Still my life has cleared away my agony No one can ever hear my cry See me try to stop what's already done All the odds are standing now before me
