The Image that Shows
(c) 2009 Patricia Dovidio

there she sits facing the mirror
and once again she's painting on her smile

she will sing and the world will hear her
hoped their cheers would make her life worthwhile

does her best to give them what they came for
the lights go down and she takes the stage

she belts it out and the show just drains her
after all is done she is older than her age

-pre:
seemed like yesterday she was up
having fun and dreaming big
but the big dream is all too real
and not how she thought it would feel

as a child she felt that no one noticed
last in line for any love at all

she could write and sing when she was lonely
her songs answered her heart's call

she made a plan to take her music somewhere
but the music soon took her instead

never found the love that she was craving

-pre:
and the fix is messing up her head
having fun and dreaming big
but the big dream is all too real
and not how she thought it would feel

ch:
the dream has turned into terror
the highs leads to a low

and as she looks in the mirror
will it show

the image is what shows
an image is all they know

there she sits facing the mirror
and once again she's painting on her smile

she will sing and the world will hear her
hoped their cheers would make her life worthwhile

-pre:
seemed like yesterday she was up
having fun and dreaming big
but the big dream is all too real
and not how she thought it would feel

ch:
the dream has turned into terror
the highs leads to a low

and as she looks in the mirror
will it show

the image is what shows

repeat chorus:
..
All they know
Is the image that shows
