Look in my eyes and you will see, a girl that is scared to come out in the open. Watch from the outside and you see a girl who is outspoken.
Look in my eyes, and you will see all the people I have lost. Watch from the outside, and it would seem I have never lost anyone.
Look in my eyes, and you will see a singer waiting for her chance. Watch from the outside, and you would never know my dream.
Look in my eyes, and you will see all the pain I hide. Watch from the outside and you would only see smiles.
Look in my eyes, and you will see a broken girl. Watch from the outside and you would think I was whole.
Look in my eyes, and you will see the ghost of a girl I use to be. Watch from the outside and you would think I was the same girl.
Look in my eyes, and you will see how lost I really am. Watch from the outside, and I would always seem to know where I was going.
Looking in my eyes, and you will find the part of me I keep secret. Watch from the outside, and you see only what I show you.
