Whatever Happened
Lyrics by J. Hanson, Music by J. Hanson
(© 2004 J. Hanson)

There's a shattered mirror
Where my soul used to hide
My timid heart is trembling
And hollow inside

Your footfalls tread too deeply
On the tracts of my skin
Use and abuse me
I'll still let you in

Red smears my mind
And black coats my bones
My eyes, they are burning
But my lips are froze

CHORUS
Whatever happened
To the comfort you used to be
I'm left here all awkward
Your caress has deserted me
Look what you've done
Look what I've let you do
There's nothing left now
That I've given myself to you

So go ahead and leave me
My body drenched in shame
I'll simply convince myself
That I like the pain

Red smears my mind
And black coats my bones
My eyes, they are burning
But my lips are froze

CHORUS

But at the end of the day
It's me I'll have to face
Search my spirit to find
Empty space

Convince myself
That it's all just a game
Makes no difference
If you don't know my name

CHORUS
