The Girl in the Bubble lyrics

Look
There's that beautiful girl
With a beautiful life
Such a beautiful life
Built on lies
'Cause all that's required
To live in a dream
Is endlessly closing your eyes
She spins such beautiful stories
To sing her to sleep
Full of magic and glory and love
She's the girl in the bubble
The bright shiny bubble
Blissfully floating above
Ah, but the truth has a way
Of seeping on in
Beneath the surface and sheen
And blind as you try to be
Eventually
It's hard to unsee what you've seen
And so that beautiful girl
With a beautiful life
Has a question that haunts her somеhow
If she comes down from the sky
Givеs the real world a try
Who in the world is she now?
And though so much of her wishes
That she could float on
And the beautiful lies never stop
For the girl in the bubble
The pink shiny bubble
It's time for her bubble to pop
For the popular girl
High in the bubble
Isn't it high time
For her bubble to pop?
