Look at me, what do you see?
The beautiful girl you say I am
Does not live in my body
She lies in the tomb I decorate every day.
This smile isn't real, just painted like a clown
These tears are burning
As they fall down.
The beat of my heart
Only appears when you're there
Which makes me fall apart
Because I haven't the slightest idea
Of how to hide
These empty eyes.
We all know I lie
When I say I am fine
But that is what they want to hear,
It just proves my insecure fears.
I want to love them right,
But I feel like they deserve more
So I cling to the light
That seeps onto my mind's floor
And stand under its luminescence
Breathing in its calm serenity.
Don't look in my eyes
You'll see a girl who's terrified
Of losing everything
That keeps her trying.
Don't look me in the eyes
And tell me you love
The girl who is my disguise.
