She was done before the start

always mending broken hearts

making others miserable, not

knowing who she's hurting

Father said: "this day would be,

one for everyone to see"

is this true you'll follow suit

and have you learned a thing?



It's just a selfish way to go

it's safe to say she'll never know

for every person there's a whole life story

waiting to be told

when she is happy it's ok

but when these people start to fade

then we'll just watch her self-destruct as she gets old



She put up defensive shields

to walk through all of life's minefields

all defined by make-up and a car behind she's hiding

"Father do you have to go,

left me questions, I don't know"

any answers or ever close

the lifetime lie was true



She's gonna move on with her life

and take it one heart at a time

and watch the little girl inside her

wait behind as she goes on

but with this black heart she decides

who she'll take in and shove aside

until the day she sees that everyone has gone



Getting used to people leaving

thinking true love is deceiving

soon she'll know how lonely it can be.



Now was it really worth the pain?

a couple pills make her feel sane

as she lives out the story

written for the part she is to play

with so much shame for her to hide

there's no more dignity, no pride

then there will only be dark in her light of day



And she will only see a reflection

of her father's rejection

nothing will change until she breaks this life,

this life size mirror...
