she was gone before a 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 suits 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 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"   any answers or ever close the life time   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   while 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------
