Within Temptation
"Mercy Mirror" lyrics

Mercy Mirror

We are
Forever as one
In what remains
You're in my blood
From the cradle
To the grave

I don't like
To think about the pieces
Or the cracks and the breaks
That still remain
If I could breathe
I'd ask you

So look in my mercy mirror
I need you more than I have known
So look in my mercy mirror
Cause I'm not ready to let you go

Now I know
Now I know
I'm not ready to let you go
Now I know
Now I know
I'm not ready to let you go
I'm not ready to let you go

My heart
Like a planet the sun forgot
Where now?
Orbiting the light
That I had lost

More than words is silence teaches
How to see and to feel
What is real
When sunlight reaches
My soul?

So look in my mercy mirror
I need you more than I have known
So look in my mercy mirror
Cause I'm not ready to let you go

Now I know
Now I know
I'm not ready to let you go
Now I know
Now I know
I'm not ready to let you go

It's a wicked game life plays
How it gives and takes away
No turning round
Touching ground
What we had
Was so much more
Than I realized

If I could
I'd embrace
Embrace you

And look in my mercy mirror
I need you more than I have known
So look in my mercy mirror
Cause I'm not ready to let you go

Now I know
Now I know
I'm not ready to let you go
Now I know
Now I know
I'm not ready to let you go

I'm not ready to let you go
