Girl In the Mirror

There's a girl in the mirror, She's been crying her eyes out, The road's been kinda rough And she can't stop herself from Looking back, wishing she could Just go back in time, To when it was all good, all the I love you's and you are mine's. She's seen a lot of pain, But this time's too much, Questions spin out of control, She knows the answers But doesn't want to believe That you were so different Than you seemed, doesn't she know Fairy tales are tragic lies? You held her close and Whispered in her ear, She believed everything but You walked away in the end, And you broke her, She almost died from the pain, But she's stronger than she thought, She'll learn to smile once again. She'll learn to fly, Even on broken wings, Healing takes time, Like a third degree burn It'll hurt so much but That hurt will fade and All that will be left is a scar, And she will shine like a shooting star.
