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
