"She Lives Her Life (The Way She Never Chose)"
(12/02/03)

Verse 1
She is told happiness, can fool even the best,
So she signs up for a class.
Stuck behind an old desk, life gives her a real test,
Doesn't get the grades to pass.
What she wouldn't give,
To be in Casanovas shoes.
Be able to live,
Without paying so many dues
(She's paying so many dues.)
She just stare at her feet, passing lovers on the street,
Got nothing to relate to.
She's walking the lost walk, talking the empty talk,
Underneath those eyes so blue.
She's wishing for love,
She'd like to smile instead of cry.
Wish a happy heart,
Was something that you could just buy.
(Something that you could just buy.)

Chorus
She's gone, she's wrong,
She's ashamed, she's in pain,
She cries, she sighs,
She's hoping, she's coping,
She lives her life the way she never chose.
She's sad, feels bad,
She's haunted, not wanted,
No sun, no fun,
Don't believe that she's free,
She lives her life the way she never chose.

Verse 2
The fairy tale princess, plays cards with loneliness,
Waiting for her prince charming.
Lays out the welcome mat, for all she never had,
There'll be no more departing.
She's dusts her life clean,
And the dress up for him to come.
But it's all a dream,
'Cause she's still all by her lonesome.
(Always all by her lonesome.)
With two soaked worn out eyes, she ruins the suprise,
But she can't take anymore.
She won't stand in the crowd, no one can hear her shout,
Way down staires behind closed doors.
All her bridges burned,
Now how's she gonna leap the gap?
Why don't love return,
Can't break the spell of feeling sad.
(Break the spell of feeling sad.).

Chorus

Bridge
The road's wet and the car's slipping
She lost control a mile stone back,
Everybody is racing by
Cause what is there gain is her lack.
Life didn't teach her very well,
Maybe, that's why life's a living hell...

Chorus

I always love your songs! Wonderful work on this, but truthfully I think you've done better. I'm not sure if I like some of the repeated lines.

"She's walking the lost walk, talking the empty talk"

"With two soaked worn out eyes, she ruins the suprise"

"Why don't love return,
Can't break the spell of feeling sad.
(Break the spell of feeling sad.)"

These are my favorite lines. the rest are ok. this reminds me of myself
