Mona Lisa

It's now dark The curtains are closed The audience has gone wild The actress has taken her final bow All she hears is applauds, but no one realizes what has actually been done Tonight is her final act Roses are thrown on stage while her mascara runs down her cold cheek Now she only sees a crowd, but mute in her eyes Standing there in pain, a light hits her She is in the spot light of reality Begging for a sign, any kind of sign to come Unable to function while dreaming of her past He comes to mind Tell her that it'll be alright and no one will hurt her Lies...Lies...and that is all that she'll ever hear He says words that are sweet and kind, but means them with every girl he meets The actress has nothing to live for Her life has gone into shambles and can't be repaired He took her feeling of living another day on this Earth He left her all alone in the dark without notice She wants to believe that it was for the best But she can't seem to figure out why it had to be her at this moment She loved him...he loved her, that's what she thought Life was incredible as though it was a fairy tale The spot light leaves her and its dark again Everyone is gone, vanished- just her Helpless and nothing left to go on with Give her a sign, any kind of sign Mona... Mona Lisa was her name She never let anyone not even a man shut her down, until him He slid right past her radar and ruined her little by little Give her a sign, any kind of sign Let her see that there is more to live for than being heartbroken Give her the spot light again to strive for her fulfilled destiny Open up the curtain and give her a round of applause to moving on with her life
