You See Me

You always see what I try to hide,

You never ask why I cry inside.

Just sit there — quiet, still,

Like you know the storm and love it still.

(“you just know… always know…”)

You never call me broken,

never say I’m too much to hold.

You just smile like it’s nothing,

while I’m coming apart, uncontrolled.

You talk about stars like they’re people you trust,

and somehow, I believe you — I must.

(“I believe you… yeah…”)

I don’t know how you see the light,

in the mess I make each night.

You never flinch, you never fade,

you stay — even when I’m afraid.

You see me — when I don’t see myself,

You love what I’d leave on the shelf.

Perfectly flawed, that’s what you said,

and it still echoes in my head.

You see me — like no one else can do,

and I wish I saw me like you do.

(“like you do… like you do…”)

You catch my silence like a song,

You play the chords where I went wrong.

You never try to fix, just stay,

and somehow, that takes the pain away.

(“you stay… every time…”)

And when the world turns cold and grey,

you talk like I’ll find my way.

You say I shine, but I don’t see —

you’re the light that reflects in me.

You see me — when I don’t see myself,

You love what I’d leave on the shelf.

Perfectly flawed, that’s what you said,

and it still echoes in my head.

You see me — like no one else can do,

and I wish I saw me like you do.

You’re the calm when I come undone,

You’re the shadow that softens the sun.

You don’t say “it’s fine,” you just know,

You stay — that’s how I grow.

(“you stay… you stay…”)

You see me — in the cracks and scars,

You make peace where the ruins are.

Perfectly imperfect — that’s the truth,

And somehow, I believe it when it’s from you.

You see me — like no one else could do,

and I’m learning to see me like you do.

You see me.

And that’s enough.
