Rosie Trentham - Girl in a Glass Lyrics

Girl in a glass, girl in the mirror
She's glancing back with a weary smile
The glass is tilted to hide any glimmer
Of imperfection you might find
Her clothes are cool, her skin is perfect
She's weighs not more than 100 pounds
As you look in the glass, you can hear the whispers
Of envy from all around

But she's running out of time
To make herself seem better
Than the next girl down the line
Polish the glass, polish the girl
And let her shine

Mona Lisa, is she smiling
Trapped behind the mists of time
Part the sea for Venus rising
But fear the sirens of Rhine
Mistresses and pastoral beauties
Side by side with jilted wives
Murdered queens and parasols
Virgin with child

They're all women of their time
Silently connected
They're sending us their sign
Hide the smile, bear the child
And you'll be fine

Celluloid girl, girl in reflection
Girl in the mirror, girl in the glass
Girl in a snow globe, female perfection
Standing beside her handsome prince
One glass slipper, saved the girl
So she can live out social norm
Shake the globe, and break the glass
And watch the storm

Shake the globe and watch the storm
Shake the globe and watch the storm
Shake the globe and watch the storm
Shake the globe and watch the storm

Break the glass and watch the storm
Break the glass and watch the storm
Break the glass and watch the storm
Break the glass and watch the storm

Cos I'm running out of time
To change my life forever
By stepping out of line
Shake the globe, break the glass
This life is mine
