In Her Heart

She looks into her looking glass
'Tries to see it in her eyes
And from a faded photograph
Convince herself it's still alive

No matter how it feels
It all feels so contrived
'Cause she can't find it in her heart
She can't find it in her heart

So she tries a little hideaway
In a dark corner of the town
And hopes somebody walks her way
After that they might sit down

Once again she'll settle
For any kind of love she's found
'Cause she can't find it in her heart
She can't find it in her heart

She said that she should learn to be without him
In time     In time
But for tonight it's just too big a mountain
To climb     To climb

So she lets go of herself
As the drink sparkles in her hand
She recreates the way she felt
And acts it out the best she can

She doesn't understand
Love doesn't stand a chance
'Til she can find it in her heart
'Til she can find it in her heart

She said that she should learn to be without him
In time     In time.........
But for tonight it's just too big a mountain
To climb      To climb..........

So she looks into her looking glass.......
