Say goodbye, the girl you did adore her Though you’d like to think you still could read her mind So you find, your eyes are full of water Creeping over to the places that you hide
Look around, you’ve got yourself a daughter Just the kind of girl who never crossed your mind Close your eyes, there’s something you have taught her Brought her up to think like one of your own kind
Close your eyes, you’ve got yourself a daughter Caught her underneath the stair behind the wall Say goodbye, is what you taught You thought you ought to take away her pride Before she falls
So we wonder what you would have done If you had seen just what she would be She never will be, what you think she should be And if you had known that she would go this far You would not have shot the brightest star
Open wide, she’s sposed to take it easy Taking anything she can to make her high You and I are faces in a gallery Anonymous behind acrylic smiles
Take it in and pull it out again You’ll never see, just what she would be She never will be, what you think she should be And if you had known that she would go this far You would not have shot the brightest star
Say goodbye, you’ve got yourself a daughter Brought her up to think like one of your own kind Close your eyes, there’s something you have taught her Close your eyes, there’s something you have taught her
