D5         Bb5
She was gone before a start
F5            C5
always mending broken hearts
D5            Bb5
making others miserable, not
F5               A5
knowing who she's hurting
D5                Bb5
father said: "this day would be,
F5           C5
One for everyone to see"
D5                 Bb5             F5
is this true you'll follow suits and have
            A5
you learned a thing?

            Bb5           F5
It's just a selfish way to go
            C5              D5
it's safe to say she'll never know
         Bb5             G5
for every person there's a whole life story
C5
waiting to be told
          Bb5         F5
when she is happy it's ok
              C5             D5
but when these people start to fade
                Bb5                             C5
then we'll just watch her self-destruct as she gets old

D5                 Bb5
she put up defensive shields
F5                    C5
to walk through all of life's minefields
D5            Bb5          F5             A5
all defined by make-up and a car behind she's hiding
D5            Bb5
"father do you have to go,
F5               C5
left me questions, I don't know"
D5            Bb5           F5
any answers or ever close the life time
       A5
lie was true
          Bb5             F5
she's gonna move on with her life
           C5            D5
and take it one heart at a time
             Bb5            G5
and watch the little girl inside her
      C5
wait behind as she goes on
             Bb5               F5
but with this black heart she decides
              C5             D5
who she'll take in and shove aside
         Bb5                          C5
until the day she sees that everyone has gone

Bb5            C5
getting used to people leaving
A5                D5
thinking true love is deceiving
Bb5                F5           A5
soon she'll know how lonely it can be.
          Bb5             F5
Now was it really worth the pain?
        C5                D5
a couple pills make her feel sane
              Bb5
while she lives out the story
A5              C5
written for the part she is to play
           Bb5              F5
with so much shame for her to hide
               C5         D5
there's no more dignity, no pride
               Bb5                        C5
then there will only be dark in her light of day
           Bb5           C5
and she will only see a reflection
       F5 E5       D5    C5
of her father's rejection
G5                   Bb5               A5
Nothing will change until she breaks this life,
this life size mirror (D5 Bb5 F5 C5)
