Dreamer, Girl - an original song

I wrote this about someone close to my heart.

Lyrics:
I'm the cigarette butts in your ashtray.
I'm the scars upon your papery skin.
I'm the charcoal liner 'round your blue eyes.
I'm your water bottle full of gin.

And I don't know how far you're going to take this.
And I'm afraid it'll take you first.
And you want more of this world.
And you adore what'll get you killed.
As you ignore your loved ones still.
You were once a dreamer, girl.

I'm the piercing needle in your tired veins.
I'm the hoops that weigh down your ears.
I'm the ticking time bomb in your mind, now.
I'm the silence that dissolves your fears.

And I don't know how far you're going to take this.
And I'm afraid it'll take you first.
And you want more of this world.
And you adore what'll get you killed.
As you ignore your loved ones still.
You were once a dreamer, girl.

Your feet marched you down a broken path
of forgotten dreams and shattered glass.
While you walked on and never looked back
you became a shadow of the dreams you once had.

And you want more of this world.
And you adore what'll get you killed.
As you ignore your loved ones still.
You were once a dreamer, girl.
You were once a dreamer, girl.

I liked it, and you have a lovely voice. Still, the song would have significantly profited from some variation. :-]
