Life Size Mirror

Life Size Mirror

No Use For A Name
(album: More Betterness!)

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
