I will wait forever
For a second chance
That will never come

you don't want me

not like I want you

dresses get smaller,
children get taller,
life moves forward,
and I'll be here
in a photograph,
one that I'll never see
somewhere out there in a dumb magazine

smiling and staring,
cameras flashing,
like there's nobody there but me...

I broke down in a bridal boutique
knowing that it could never be me
drowning in ballgowns
I'm bursting at the seams
knowing you'll never truly love me

I had always imagined
that when that day came
you'd be beside me
holding my hand
but you're far away
far away with him
and I know now it'll never be me

I'm here
being fitted for ballgowns
so someone
can take my photo
I'll look so happy,
the belle of the ball,
but inside I'm crying
that I'm all alone....

I broke down in a bridal boutique
drowning in ballgowns
that you'll never see
I'm just broken
the way you left me
drowning in sorrow,
in a bridal boutique

In my heart there are hopes and dreams,
and all different beautiful things.
In my heart, there's a sunrise glowing and a warmth that holds me there.
And I think of the beauty in the world all around, in the clouds that roll across the hills,
In the clean smell of the rain, and the colours of the fall,
And it makes me happy, and I wish that others saw it too.

If you love your children, are you sure they know?
Have you said the words out loud?
Are you listening with your heart, when they're sharing theirs?
Have you given us a chance to make you proud?

Do you know who I am?
Do you really know?
'Cause you can't tell from looking at me,
That underneath all this happiness, inside there's a part of me nobody sees.

I wonder who I am.
Who am I?
I wonder who I'll be.
Who will I be?
What will my life become?

There are just so many questions inside me.

Am I good enough?
Am I pretty enough?
Can I learn not to care what others think?
Can I make a difference in someone else's life, and can others see true love in me?
