Every breath you breathe is an apology Your eyes are all cried out Every goodbye is a rest in peace But every cut that bleeds led you to me ♪ Every mirror you pass looks lonely Your mind is cast with doubt Every loathsome mistake echoes her name But every cut that bleeds led you to me ♪ In the absence of love, why Did you covet the cover of night? Maybe your true colors are lies Do you bleed black and blue? Or is that a disguise? ♪ The echoes will fade in time The echoes will fade in time The echoes will fade in time The echoes will fade in time ♪ Friends and family are all out of sympathy Your lies too big to hide Now every time you pray you burst into flames But every cut that bleeds Led you right to me ♪ 'Cause maybe your true colors are lies Do you bleed black and blue? Or is that a disguise? ♪ The echoes will fade in time The echoes will fade in time The echoes will fade in time The echoes will fade in time In the absence of love unknown courage flourishes But if that's not enough then steer clear of mirrors
