I wonder who she is
I have known her all my life but
There is never bliss
in her eyes

Her mouth is moving softly and her lips
can form a smile,
but I don't buy her happiness, not even for a while

Someone's in control
I have been with her so long but
never seen a soul
around that heart

She's just a name, a face, a voice to me
A name, a face, a blur
I've been around for ages
but this is all I've got on her

I am loosing, so confusing
about the road she's choosing...
I am loosing this battle
Who is she when the lights go out?

Bruises on her face
triggers my imagination
someone scarred her grace
but she won't tell me

Who has made her into who she has to be today?
But I will never understand 'cause she will never say...

I wonder who she's been
long ago, before all this
No tears on her chin
long before her fall...

She's just a

Name, a face, a voice, a sound
that's all she gives to me,
that is all that goes around
That's all I get to see

She's just a name, a face, a voice to me
A name, a face, a blur
I've been around for ages
but this is all I've got on her

I am loosing, so confusing
about the road she's choosing...
I am loosing this battle
Who is she when the lights go out?

Loosing?

Is "loosing" really the word you want here? Maybe I'm missing something but it seems like "losing" would be more appropriate.
