See me

I built my walls from fear,

no key can fit the door.

Learned to live without the warmth,

to never hurt no more.

When love came close,

I stepped away –

Trust feels like glass

I’m too scared to break.

But you don’t see

how I stay up late for you.

How I hear your silence

like a cry coming through.

I’d drive for hours in the dark

if you just called my name.

But you look right through me,

every time – it’s always the same.

See me –

I’ve been standing here for so long.

I give more than I have,

but you don’t see what’s wrong.

I’m not a shadow,

not a breeze that fades away –

I’m the one

who still believes you’ll stay.

I carry you

though you never ask me to.

I love you out loud,

even when I’m losing too.

But you’re scared of what

this love might be –

'Cause you don’t believe

someone could stay once they see.

See me –

I’m more than just a light in the night.

I’m the one

holding your silence tight.

I was there

when you felt nothing inside –

All I want is one look

where you don’t hide.

I’m no angel,

I’m just a heart that bleeds.

But I’m breaking slowly

if you won’t see me.
