I can't see myself anymore
That's someone else inside my door
He's unrecognizable to me
I'm wondering who can that be

I think he hides behind my mirror
I look for me, but he always appears
I can't seem to get away from him
I keep seeing him, again and again

I can't see myself anymore
I can't remember what I'm looking for
I don't remember what I look like
I was wondering if you just might

I can't escape this grave impostor
I turn around, and he's on my side of the door
He's taken over every part of me
He's taken my youth and so much more

I can't see myself anymore
Left are only photos preserved from a lifetime before
This old man that's invaded my life stole my looks and married my wife
He doesn't look like me, and that's for sure
I can't see myself anymore

This wasn't just a gradual thing
I turned around, and I was older than me
Don't get me wrong, it's not over yet
The best is yet to come, and that's a solid bet
