[Verse 1]
You sit on your island
Crowd of friends
I stand aside
Laughing at some story
I wrote one you never read in my eyes
You talk about your heartbreaks
Hold the glass like it might fall
I know the way your voice breaks
Right before you say
"it's all my fault"
[Chorus]
If only you could see what I see
Every quiet miracle you hide from me
I'd hold all the pieces you call "too hard"
If only you'd see me
For who I am
Not who I'm not
I'd be the arms you think you haven't got
I'm right here
Heart in my hands like a scar
Just wishing you'd see me
See who I am
Who I am (oh)
[Verse 2]
You call me after midnight
To ask if you should text him back
I circle every answer
Just to keep you from that crash
You say I'm "such a good guy"
Smile through the phone like it's a door
That word builds a wall high
And I'm still waiting on your floor
[Chorus]
If only you could see what I see
Every quiet miracle you hide from me
I'd hold all the pieces you call "too hard"
If only you'd see me
For who I am
Not who I'm not
I'd be the arms you think you haven't got
I'm right here
Heart in my hands like a scar
Just wishing you'd see me
See who I am
Who I am (yeah)
[Bridge]
Maybe I'm afraid to say your name like this
Afraid you'll turn away
Call it foolishness
But if I never speak
You'll never know
So here I go
Here I go (hey)
[Chorus]
If only you could see what I see
Every quiet miracle you hide from me
I'd hold all the pieces you call "too hard"
If only you'd see me
For who I am
Not who I'm not
I'd be the arms you think you haven't got
I'm right here
Heart in my hands like a scar
Just wishing you'd see me
See who I am
Who I am
Who you are
