The first time I saw you, I didn't even notice
That doesn't mean that you were there, as fate in fact showed me
Won't even call it an illusion, 'cause deep inside I knew
I would create anything to get myself out of the blue
Second time I saw you I finally felt some kind of urge
As my willing to run away from myself was on the verge
Can't even call it a mistake, now that I know
You could never be there for me, as it shows
I thought I needed you, but all I needed was right here
Right in front of my mirror, the man I needed to be
I didn't know you at all, as I'm certain you never knew me
And I never loved you - I fell in love with an image
A creation of my own mind - I only noticed after the damage
That love can never be blind
And I could never turn myself into a pygmalion of my own existence
Eighteen years later, the road seems a lot easier
The light of God finally shows me the way and makes me see the bigger picture
I finally realised that no one's to blame at all
I'm standing in my own shoes, never to fall
Anyway, I feel that at least I owe you a"thank you"
Not for you being there - you couldn't be and that's okay
But as I walk my steps towards my own breakthrough
I must say the fake you I created showed me the way
I thought I needed you, but all I needed was right here
Right in front of my mirror, the man I needed to be
I didn't know you at all, as I'm certain you never knew me
And I never loved you - I fell in love with an image
A creation of my own mind - I only noticed after the damage
That love can never be blind
And I could never turn myself into a pygmalion of my own existence
Saying goodbye doesn't mean that lessons will be forgotten
At the end of the day we never made ourselves any promise
I might have left some pictures scarred in my skin
But that was the way out for me to finally break free
