life size mirror lyrics

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
