Dancing to the silence
Being carried on his toes
Laughing like the little girl you are
Inside he knows
But you try not to show
Lying in the silence
Listening to him breathe
And never like the little girl you are
Inside that he …
Believes all your lies unquestioningly
What ya gonna do 'bout the hurt
When your bubble burst
Shouting at the silence
Trying to be heard
And feeling like the little girl you are
That he's observed
But doesn't speak a work
Crying in the silence
Betrayed by your mascara
Denying like the little girl you are
That wants her father ...
Now all you lies come tumbling down
Under your feet did he move the earth
When your bubble burst
And how have all your lies caused you to drown
Come for up for air cos it hurts
And will only get worst
Little girl you're not the first
To have a bubble burst
Left in stony silence
Cold but unafraid
Stalling like the little girl you were
Not allowed to leave the pavement
