You Can't See

Why can't you see
What has become of me
I'm not that happy little girl
She ran away in a whirl

Now all thats left is me
Is someone you can't see
You can't see me
I'm not someone you would ever see

I'm a dark person
Not a person of light
I'm not happy
And just cause I'm not happy

You have to judge me
Well how about you come see
See my life in my eyes
See how my life is full of lies

Lies from promises broken so easily
Watching people be able to leave peacefully
I kick and scream but nobody can see
What has become of me

You don't hear my screams
Screams of all my broken dreams
All these lies
All the tears that fall from my eyes

But you wouldn't know
And even if you did all you would say is "so"
Even if you could see
You would never see the real me

I hide behind a mask
I know its not an easy task
It has taken careful time to master
So it wouldn't end up a disaster

Nobody knows when I cry
Nobody can see how I lie
I lie everyday I say hi and yeah I'm fine
Yet I scream inside

But you never hear
Because I'm not someone you would ever go near
I'm just another Gothic person to you
Not good enough for you

I'm different so you shut me out
Well I don't have any doubt
About who I am
Or what has and will be come of me

Because i am me
This depressed person you can never see
Someone who walks by you everyday
Yet you have never noticed me

All these days have gone by
And you never see me when I pass by
You never have and you never will

Because you just can't see
You can't see the real me
You can't take the time to see
What has truly become of me
