If I act, then you won't see the girl behind the smile You can't see the child that's hiding in her eyes You will only see the way she moves, such poise and style It's almost like she's confidence personified It's like she showers her light on everyone for miles It's easy just to sit and watch her shine But she's scared and looking deeper is not so worthwhile There's more that hides within than you can analyse
Part of me says this is where I want to be I've never been so far away from safe I'm telling you, I'll handle all this easily Why don't you stay beside me, just in case?
I am standing on my own two feet So hear me now
I don't know what I am I am a nightmare I'm reaching out to you Tell me you're there I hate to see your face I need you, darling If I reach into the sky What will the stars bring Will they fall on me Or pull me up from on the ground? Who's with me now?
Somehow it doesn't feel like I am up this high But I think I can see my house from here I can do this, I'm sure you can see it in my eyes I'm here to prove I won't just disappear
I am real, I am in your arms So look at me
I don't know what I am I am a nightmare I'm reaching out to you Tell me you're there I hate to see your face I need you, darling If I reach into the sky What will the stars bring? Will they fall on me? Or pull me up from on the ground? If I should lose my way, Would you help to guide me back down? Who's with me now?
I never imagined I would end up here But maybe I've been right here all along
I refuse to hide from what I am I'm terrified. I understand. Now is not the time for me to close my eyes
