We never saw eye to eye

education came first

and love did second

 

Oh!

 

But you were a loveless child

and as years passed by

I understood why

 

Ah!

 

As the natural light fades

from this facade

I realised all we never had

 

But time is not over for you or for me 

when I look in the mirror

your all I can see

 

(staring straight back at me)
