Martina Sorbara - Once I Was Mighty lyrics

When I strip for my window

The audience is always easy

And when I kiss my pillow

At least I know what he sees in me

I could be seductive

But I'm just not seductive

I'm not the mystery

That you made of me

So I've boarded up the windows

Of my palace

So I've grown accustomed to

Rose colored glasses

I called all the local papers

Saying look what he did to me

Look what he said to me

Don't take this guy seriously

Still I find myself on my knees

Repenting relentlessly

For what he didn't find in me

For what I didn't turn out to be

He says I boarded up the windows

Of my palace

That I've grown accustomed to

Rose colored glasses

So I live the life in pink

So I'm different than you think

So I'm not so outrageous

I'm not so outrageous

There was a time I was mighty

When I stood as tall as I can

Yeah, once I was mighty

Now you've made even smaller

Than I am

'Cause I've boarded up the windows

Of my palace

I've grown accustomed to

Rose colored glasses

So I live the life in pink

So I'm different than you think

I'm not so outrageous

So I couldn't do what you did

I'm a little more timid

I'm not so courageous

I'm not so courageous

Once I was mighty

Once I was mighty
