If knowing you is strange
Then we can talk about it
But by knowing me
We are left without it
Pulling us violently apart
Bit by bit

After all the games we play
We are left to linger and decay
Come what may

Funny how there’s nothing you can do
When you are missing me,
I am missing me
Inside of me too

There were nights I remember
When I was alone
Something missing within
In need of a home
Lost that part of myself
Forevermore alone

After all this delay
We are withered and astray
So we pray

Funny how no matter what we do
While you were missing me,
I was missing me
Inside of me too

Such a lonesome feeling, this shell that you may pretend
how would you ever know, that you are a welcome friend

A feeling many have when they apart from or have lost their loved one.  Finding oneself again can be the biggest challenge, and finding out whom one REALLY is may be the result that is one of surprise.

more mirrors in rhyme divine.

It's such a clever innocence with which you show myself to me
As if you know how it feels to never be who you wanted to be
