You look at me and see the girl

who lives inside the golden world

but don´t believe

that´s all there is to see

you´ll never know the real

me


She smiles through a thousand tears

and harbors adolescent fears

she dreams of all

that she can never be

she wades in insecurity

and hides herself inside of me


Don´t say she takes it all for granted

I´m well aware of all I have

Don´t think that I´m disenchanted

Please understand


It seems as though I´ve always been

somebody outside looking in

Well here I´am

for all of them to bleed

but they can´t take my heart from me

And they can´t bring me to my knees

They´ll never know the real me
