I am only a woman
stuck in the rear view
it was never a plan
yet there are still a few
trying to ruin my name
but does it matter
I am living in vain
yet it flatters
my dreams and hopes
but they are shattered
my soul is here
yet I am out of
control with this day
as they judge me
it is not a show
you don't know me
how far will I go
for you to notice me
I'm stuck in a shade
with bright thoughts
just trying to see
what I've lost
