Echoes

She was young Just a child And no-one ever told her The pain that growing up would bring To her safe little world She didn't understand That life Can throw a thousand bullets at you And leave you nowhere safe to hide And things will never be the same Like a page that can't be turned She would live her life Believing she was nothing And her voice was never heard A little voice inside Just searching for the words When there's no-one In the mirror That you recognise And when the pieces Of the puzzle Just ain't fitting right For everything I couldn't do To help you To stand your ground I will be there in the mirror with you Yes I will I will be there in the mirror with you She was caught In between Everything she dreamed of And everything she oughta be So she hid away A shadow of herself She cried, she cried Every little teardrop A little part of her that died But the memory Still remains When there's no-one In the mirror That you recognise And when the pieces Of the puzzle Just ain't fitting right For everything I couldn't do To help you To stand your ground I will be there in the mirror with you Yes I will I will be there in the mirror with you When there's no-one In the mirror That you recognise And when the pieces Of the puzzle Just ain't fitting right For everything I couldn't do To help you To stand your ground I will be there in the mirror with you I promise I will I will be there in the mirror with you I am older I am grown I am free
