I claw at the shadows cast by a me that could have been.
Desperately trying to catch up to where I know I should be now.
I see him in the mirrors when the lights are low enough.
But I can never step through that divide and into his shoes.
I'm chasing the wake left behind by a better man than me.
Will I ever catch up to where I'm supposed to be?
I see him in the reflections in your eyes sometimes.
Is it really me that you love, or is it the trace of him within?
Will there ever come a time when the two of us are the same?
I'm trying so hard, as much for you as for myself.
I don't know if all that effort will amount to anything.
For you I keep on crawling forward.
I do everything for you.
