There was another girl
She was much like you
She lived in the past
And had trouble with the future
Well, she walked with her head held high
And her hands held down at the sides

It was everything that I had not wanted
There were reasons to be crazy

Make no mistake about it
(When she stopped crying her eyes got bright)
Make no mistake about it
(She walked with her head held high and her hands held down at her sides)
Make no mistake about it
(Make no mistake about it... those were real tears)
Make no mistake about it
(Make no mistake about it... I've always been unreal)

And you walked a thousand miles in a few weeks
Very little love exists through the rain and the fog
In her always hanging mirror

It was everything that I had not wanted
There were reasons to be crazy

Make no mistake about it
(When she stopped crying her eyes got bright)
Make no mistake about it
(She walked with her head held high and her hands held down at her sides)
Make no mistake about it
(Make no mistake about it... those were real tears)
Make no mistake about it
(Make no mistake about it... I've always been unreal)

Make no mistake about it
(When she stopped crying her eyes got bright)
Make no mistake about it
Those were real tears
Make no mistake about it
I've always been unreal

She takes a lot of time sometimes
It takes a lot of time to know her
She will disappear before you
Right in front of your very eyes

Down through the years
She has accepted her life
With her hands held down in fear
Take a tear of a rose and push it into your hands
These are real tears

Make no mistake about it
(When she stopped crying her eyes got bright)
Make no mistake about it
(She walked with her head held high and her hands held down at her sides)
Make no mistake about it
(Make no mistake about it... those were real tears)
Make no mistake about it
(Make no mistake about it... I've always been unreal)

It was everything I had not wanted
Whoa, there were reasons to be crazy
And all the reasons
Well, that she was just like you
So she keeps them in her heart
So she keeps them in her heart
