Reflections of a Heartless Man Lyrics

Tell me stories of when you were young
...and when you still had a heart
make me believe you'll die in peace
I'd like to see your eyes
I need to hear you speak
"I want you to understand, this life is just a game
no one ever wins"
He hits his knees, he lifts his face,
he opens his eyes and says to me,
"I tried everyday to be what you want me to be.
I can stand here and say that I tried everyday.. and
now I'm left with these bones. All they carry
are these broken hopes. If I knew then what I knew now,
I'd say bury me alive."
I woke up in a cold sweat. Who was this man in my head?
Although i find it hard to believe; the man i see is me.
