She cried herself to sleep every night
Trying to hold on with all her might
She worried what her future will bring
while she feels she has lost everything
She thinks that she's all alone
and no where she turned does it feel like home
she feels abandoned and abused
why does life have to be so confused
She has this sadness in her eyes
her pain and suffering from loss and lies
and from those eyes are tears like rain
was life over before it began
And when I look at her things become clear
for it has been the past 40 years or so
that I've seen her in that mirror!
