lonely little girl

So, sad and lonely girl,
So melancholy, so bittersweet
The key has reached its boiling point

She paints her tragedy
But she says not a word
And up there, in her alcove,
Her soul's a caged bird
Her heart is bound in chains
She clings to her past
Her canvas shows her shackles
All can plainly see it
But her

She sits and paints her pictures
Without a care in the world,
Or so it seems
She sits in the alcove,
Leaving her message upon the wall
She moves like clockwork,
This lonely little doll
She's just sitting pretty
But you see it in her eyes
She's a shadow of her former self

No medium in particular,
Just lost in thought as she creates,
Reminiscing over an old lost life
She's a princess, she's an imposter,
This sad and lonely girl
Her smile is painted on
A smile you see is hollow

She's everyone
She's a nobody
Her identity is lost
She sits there in her attic
Sits there collecting dust
All but forgotten

So, lonely little girl,
Who does she see in the mirror, now?
She leaves no reflection
Other than her emptiness

She sits and paints her pictures
Without a care in the world,
or so it seems
She sits in the alcove,
Leaving her message upon the wall
She moves like clockwork,
This lonely little doll
She's just sitting pretty
But you see it in her eyes
She's a shadow of her former self

This lonely little princess,
She tells me her story through her colors,
Her tragic, fleeting love,
She smiles, but it's empty
She's traveled around the world,
This lonely Delilah,
But who could help her now?
Who could help her now?
