The mirror breaks in a lonely room
She couldn't stand to see the lines on her face
She knew the end was coming soon
And those tender years could not be replaced
Why did you live alone Oh Shelia Brown
Slapped in the face with life's white glove
Why did you live alone Shelia Brown
You never did find out about true love
Sad to be lonely with an empty life
With the mirror in pieces she starts to sob
No good memories a life filled with strife
A soul waiting for the devil to rob
Why did you live alone Oh Shelia Brown
Slapped in the face with life's white glove
Why did you live alone Shelia Brown
You never did find out about true love
Tissue in hand she dries her eyes
Takes a broom and sweeps up the pieces
With no more excuses or alibis
She falls to the floor her life ceases
Why did you live alone Oh Shelia Brown
Slapped in the face with life's white glove
Why did you live alone Shelia Brown
You never did find out about true love
