She was done before the start, always mending broken hearts
Making others miserable not knowing who she`s hurting
Father said, This day will be, one for everyone to see
Is it 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 then 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 dont know
Any answers or even 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 is 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
