(Whispering) Yeah
Sometimes you gotta look in the mirror to find the man you lost
It’s a long road, Alfred
But we moving forward now
It started with a sip just to kill the noise in my head
Blurring out the memories and the words that I said
I thought the bottle was a friend, a way to hide the pain
But it turned into a ghost that was driving me insane
Broken promises scattered on the cold concrete floor
I was running from the light, hiding behind the door
Lost my way in the haze, lost the man I used to be
Just a prisoner of the glass, searching for the key
Oh Alfred, you were drifting in the deep
With the secrets that you couldn't even keep
But the morning light is breaking through the gray
And you’re finally finding your own way
No more running from the man inside the mirror
Now the path ahead is getting clearer
Yeah, the path ahead is getting clearer
Every hangover was a battle, every night a new excuse
I was tightening the knot, slipping in the noose
Relationships faded like the sun at the end of the day
Watching everything I built just slowly wash away
But deep down in the dark, a tiny whisper start to call
Saying 'Alfred, stand up, you don't have to take the fall'
It was quiet, it was steady, but it saved my soul
Started taking back the pieces, getting back control
Oh Alfred, you were drifting in the deep
With the secrets that you couldn't even keep
But the morning light is breaking through the gray
And you’re finally finding your own way
No more running from the man inside the mirror
Now the path ahead is getting clearer
Yeah, the path ahead is getting clearer
It wasn't just the drink, it was the fear of the truth
Running from the shadows of my wasted youth
But I’m turning the page, I’m embracing the scars
Looking up from the gutter, finally seeing the stars
Now I wake up with the sun, no more guilt in my chest
Putting all the broken versions of myself to rest
It’s a new day, a new life, I’m standing tall
Ready for the future, ready to face it all
Yo, it’s a long journey but I’m walking it slow
Learning how to live, learning how to grow
Oh Alfred, you were drifting in the deep
With the secrets that you couldn't even keep
But the morning light is breaking through the gray
And you’re finally finding your own way
No more running from the man inside the mirror
Now the path ahead is getting clearer
Yeah, I see you, Alfred
Keep walking, keep growing
No more bottles, just the truth
Natotela for the strength
(Fade out with soft guitar strumming)
