Monster in the Mirror

[Verse 1]
I’m the monster in the mirror.
Time is the fire in which I burn.
I’ve been running from myself.
Now there's nowhere left to turn.
No, no, no!
[Verse 2]
Am I staying? Am I leaving?
Indecision fuels my pain.
You’re the reason that I’m grieving.
And the reason I’ve remained.
Oh yeah!
[CHORUS]
I regret the pain I’ve caused you.
With my silent nonchalance.
I'm still here and I still love you.
Won't you give me one more chance.
Oh yeah...
[Verse 3]
I will lose myself without you.
Please don’t leave me all alone.
You’re the only one I've loved...
When I'm with you I know I'm home!
Oh yeah!
[CHORUS]
I regret the pain I’ve caused you.
With my silent nonchalance.
Babe I need you and I love you.
Please just give me one more chance.
[Verse 4]
I’m the monster in the mirror.
Time is the fire in which I burn.
I’ve been running from myself.
And You're the one place left to turn!
Oh yeah!
[CHORUS]
I regret the pain I’ve caused you.
With my silent nonchalance.
Babe I need you and I love you.
All I need is one more chance...
...Please give me one last chance.
