Affectation was an early sign
All virtues had faded away
Apprehension made her cold
The child within her died
And left her with a heart of stone
Surface anger was a thin disguise
Behold the pain in her eyes
Her true self left behind
Hidden by a veil of deception
That's the way she chose to live her life
The way it feels when you hurt inside
She's running from herself
The game of life in which she played
Looking back upon the early years
But she chose to push them away
She chose to roll the dice
And so she paid the price
Misery was her only friend
Inner feelings were a neutral zone
Though she tried to condone
In a world she faced so alone
Her salvation came too late
Forgot about the veil of deception
That's the way she chose to live her life
The way it feels when your hurt inside
She's running from herself
The game of life in which she played
