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 been She waits 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 than I am 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 You'll never know the real me.
