The Show Is Over

She's on the cover of a beauty magazine

Got everything she ever wanted, so it seems

She's living in a world of make believe

Anything to become a glamour queen

She never thought she'd fall into a trap

What she's seeing is a lie and that's a fact

She doesn't even recognize herself

She doesn't even know that she's more beautiful

When she's natural

Just like her mother said

She's a miracle, oh

Make up running down her face

Colour of her skin begins to fade

Curtains down nobody's around

When the show is over

No other way she could escape

Hopelessly lying on her bed

Crying out loud nobody's around

When the show is over

Over, over

Nobody's around when the show is over

She's never thinking about herself

Always trying to please somebody else

There's nothing real about her life

There's a sadness in her eyes

Got a feeling that there's no way out

Can she find a way somehow

She's looking for the special one

To love her 'cause she's beautiful

When she's natural

Just like her mother said

She's a miracle, oh

Make up running down her face

Colour of her skin begins to fade

Curtains down nobody's around

When the show is over

No other way she could escape

Hopelessly lying on her bed

Crying out loud nobody's around

When the show is over

Over, over

Nobody's around when the show is over

Could she be happy

And would it last

Can she find her innocence

Could she be free

(Could she be free)

Yeah

Make up running down her face

Colour of her skin begins to fade

Curtains down nobody's around

When the show is over

No other way she could escape

From all the pressure of the fame

Curtains down nobody's around

When the show is over

Over, over

Nobody's around when the show is over
