Looking In

Flávia Kirkpatrick


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
