The noon's greygolden meshes make
All night a veil,
The shorelamps in the sleeping lake
Laburnum tendrils trail.

The sly reeds whisper to the night
A name-- her name-
And all my soul is a delight,
A swoon of shame.

You can't
Tell me who I am
Because you don't see
The real me

You think I'm shy
When I'm not
I just don't want to show you
Who I am

You think I'm delicate
When I'm not
I just hide how much
I can endure

You think I'm angelic
When I'm not
I just don't show
My demons

You think I'm lying when I say
What you think I am is wrong
You just haven't met
The real me
You Think You Know Me
But You Don't

I know a girl
She puts the color inside of my world
But she's just like a maze
Where all of the walls all continually change
And I've done all I can
To stand on her steps with my heart in my hands
Now I'm starting to see
Maybe it's got nothing to do with me

Fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too

Oh, you see that skin?
It's the same she's been standing in
Since the day she saw him walking away
Now she's left
Cleaning up the mess he made

So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too

Boys, you can break
You'll find out how much they can take
Boys will be strong
And boys soldier on
But boys would be gone without the warmth from
A womans good, good heart

On behalf of every man
Looking out for every girl
You are the god and the weight of her world

So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too [x3]

Looking for another answer
Looking for another gateway
Looking for another reason
To wake up and greet the day

Looking for another dance
Looking for another sky to fly
Looking for another chance
To love‘n never say good-bye

Looking for a song to sing
Looking for a trick to try
Looking for a prayer to pray
To take away the tears I cry

Looking
And I’m blinded by the light
Looking
You’re all but out of sight
Looking
And it may as well be night

— The End —
