Lyrics
You take the pills but you still feel sick
You read the books but they just don't stick
You bought that damn bed and you still can't sleep
And that Shrink you see needs her own therapy
You take this love and you twist it sick
You make it up, just to poison it
You had a good life until started needing me
But you gave it up for what could never be
Only you can save yourself from me
Only you, only you, only you, only you
Only you can end your misery
Only you and only you
You chose this road and you tripped on me
I'm not your path, I'm not your destiny
You looked at this in your own sweet misguided way
Go on leave me alone
Just go away
Only you made up this fantasy
Only you, only you, you, you
Only you can break your chains of me
Only you, you, you
Only you and only you can save yourself
Only you can set yourself free
I just can't be what you want me to be
Only you can love you better than me
(Instrumental/Ad lib)
Only you can save yourself for me
Only you, I say you, you, you
Only you can end your misery
Only you, you, you, you
Only you can love you more than me
Only you, only you, only you
Mirror, mirror on the wall....
