I wish you could see me,
For who I really am,
Not for who they think I am,
Not for who they tell me to be.

I wish you'd understand,
But that's near to never,
That's a thought about to wither,
Because you always have your eyes closed.

I wish you'd hear my frail voice,
Speaking the truth I've hidden for so long,
Not my voice of sarcasm and jesting,
Speaking what they'd think is appropriate.

I don't know if I have the right words,
I guess you have your ears numbed, as well.
How come I can't make myself smile,
My face does nothing but defile.

I can write words for as much as I want,
Considering its the only things I can use,
Use to scream my rotten pleas,
Always the same from years and years ago.

It hurts to be the only one to cry myself to,
I wish you'd understand.
I won't blame you if you still have your eyes closed,
I am nothing over you.

I wish you'd let me speak,
I wish you'd let me be me,
I wish you'd let me lean on you,
But that's near to never.
