she was gone before a start   making others miserable, not   always mending broken hearts   father said:"this day would be,   knowing who she's hurting   is this true you'll follow suits and have   one for everyone to see"      you learned a thing?   It's just a selfish way to go   for every person there's a whole   it's safe to say she'll never know   life story   waiting to be told   when she is happy it's ok   then we'll just watch her self-destruct as she gets old   but when these people start to fade   she put up defensive shields      to walk through all of life's minefieds   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"   lie was true   any answers or ever close the life time   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   until the day she sees that everyone has gone   but with this black heart she decides   who she'll take in and shove aside      thinking true love is deceiving   getting used to people leaving   soon she'll know how lonely it can be.      now was it really worth the pain?   a couple pills make her feel sane   written for the part she is to play   while she lives out the story   there's no more dignity, no pride   then there will only be dark in her light of day   with so much shame for her to hide   and she will only see a reflection      of her father's rejection   nothing will change until she breaks   this life,   this life size mirror
