Lyrics

[00:17.360] She was done before the start, always mending broken hearts
[00:22.810] Making others miserable not knowing who she's hurting
[00:28.500] Father said, "This day will be, one for everyone to see"
[00:34.640] Is it true you'll follow suit and have you learned a thing?
[00:40.720] It's just a selfish way to go, it's safe to say she'll never know
[00:45.900]
[00:46.570] For every person there's a whole life story waiting to be told
[00:51.680] When she is happy it's OK, but then these people start to fade
[00:57.340] Then we'll just watch her self-destruct as she gets old
[01:02.970]
[01:04.520] She put up defensive shields, to walk through all of life's minefields
[01:10.150] All defined by make-up and a car behind she's hiding
[01:16.000] "Father do you have to go, left me questions I dont know"
[01:21.950] Any answers or even close the life time lie was true
[01:27.930]
[01:28.360] She's gonna move on with her life, and take it one heart at a time
[01:33.590] And watch the little girl inside her wait behind as she goes on
[01:39.230] But with this black heart she decides, who she'll take in and shove aside
[01:45.200] Until the day she sees that everyone is gone
[01:49.760]
[01:51.740] Getting used to people leaving, thinking true love is deceiving
[01:57.700] Soon she'll know how lonely it can be
[02:00.890]
[02:02.740] Now was it really worth the pain? A couple pills make her feel sane
[02:08.230] While she lives out the story written for the part she is to play
[02:14.140] With so much shame for her to hide, there's no more dignity, no pride
[02:20.350] Then there will only be dark in her light of day
[02:24.840]
[02:26.020] And she will only see a reflection, of her father's rejection
[02:31.900] Nothing will change until she breaks this life, this life-size mirror
[02:39.990]
