Vision of Perfection

Hiding from those empty words
Running from the face behind her
She turned her back on who she was
Escaped into the freedom waiting
Into the night

And oh the loneliness she found
Though she would ever try to hide it
Deny her self within him still
Through all the angry tears between them

She feels
She dreams

And who will see what she feels
If she never shows it?
Who will she run to
When everything falls down?
When will she find the faith
To let herself become
Someone special in someone else's eyes?

And he could see into her mind
Make sense of all the twisting whirlwinds
And though he tore her up inside
Somehow there was sheer delight
Between the pieces

Now she longs for something that she cannot obtain
A fleeting vision of perfection
And it would shatter at the slightest touch
So better keep it locked away inside

She feels
She dreams

And who will see what she feels
If she never shows it?
Who will she run to
When everything falls down?
When will she find the faith
To let herself become
Someone special in someone else's eyes?

Hiding from those empty words
Leaving whispers far behind her
She turned her back on who she was
Escaped into the freedom waiting
Into the night.
