You don't see the tears I've shed.
You don't see the blood I've bled.
You don't see the scars I hide.
You can't count the times I've tried.

You don't know the pain I feel.
You don't know the secrets I seal.
You don't know the strength I lack.
You don't know I want you back.

You can't feel the guilt in my heart.
You can't feel that we've fallen apart.
You can't feel that I'm not strong.
You can't feel it, I can't go on.

My heart is torn, and has gone bleak.
My body's crumbled, and now I'm too weak.
You're not here to catch me when I fall.
And you'll never hear my hopeful calls.

I miss you, I need you now.
I want you back, but I don't know how.
I still don't know why you left me.
But you're blind now, my pain you can't see.

When I laugh so hard, I cry...
Joy sprinkling from my eyes.
It's these moments I hold on to,
Each time that I am with you.

My neighborhood is quiet,
The sky is full of clouds.
All but the wind is silent,
Though my mind's so very loud.

How can it be that I see the whole world,
And all I feel is... small?
How can it be that it's me, just one girl,
My back against the wall?

Oh, I'm scared of every little thing.
I'm so scared of the world, and you, and me.
Of the world, and you, and me.

My closet is my shelter,
Where I sing and write and cry.
Would escaping make it better?
I'm afraid to even try.

What is this feeling inside of my heart?
A hole I cannot fill.
What is it now that's tearing me apart?
It hurts so bad, and still...

I'm so scared of every little thing.
Oh, I'm scared of the world, and you, and me.
Of the world, and you, and me.

Little girl, take my hand,
I'll show you who you'll become.
A fearful girl, who shuts out the world,
Hides away, she's no one...
She's broken...

She's just scared of every little thing.
She's just scared of the world, and you, and me.

Oh, I'm scared of every little thing.
I'm so scared of the world, and you, and me.
Of the world, and you, and me.

Won't you save her, won't you try?
You wouldn't let this angel die.
Don't you see the devastation in her eyes?
Don't you hear her helpless cries?

As she begs you to come near,
Won't you come? Don't you hear?
You wouldn't leave behind this dear.
You wouldn't ignore all her fear.

But, you do, you walk away.
Despite her weeping calls to stay.
You are heartless, cold, you may
Not leave behind this child, I pray.

Guilt will win as you watch her break.
She's desperate, for goodness sake.
She reaches out, she shakes your bones.
She begs for you to take her home.

Don't cry, my dear, don't cry.
You're a weak, and sensitive child.
Wipe your eyes, and wipe your tears.
Banish all your wretched fear.

Don't cry, my dear, don't cry.
You're a fragile, and fearful child.
Sew up your heart, it's tied on a string.
Fix the broken, ugly thing.

...You're in control, despite what you think.
Don't you let your body sink.
Wipe your eyes, and wipe your tears.
Look at me, look in the mirror...

In your eyes I see the evergreens,
Growing tall with pride.
Casting shadows on the forest bed,
Letting timid creatures hide.

In your eyes I see the evergreens,
Growing strong and wide.
Reaching for the sun,
But only touching the sky.

In your eyes I see the evergreens,
Brave and tough and pure.
You'll grow as high as evergreens,
That, my dear, I'm sure.

You're beautiful, I'll tell you.
Because no one else will.
You're wonderful, I'll tell you.
You're too precious to ****.

You've got a life to live,
The whole world to see.
So I'll do a favor,
I will set you free.
