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 got yourself a daughter Just the kind of girl who never crossed your mind Close your eyes is something you have taught her Brought her up to think like one of your own kind Close your eyes, you 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 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
