Here I am
Starring at your shadowy self
Let me see beneath your mask
Your refuge of darkness
I know you are beautiful why do you have to hide

You hide because someone made you
Feel like you had to
Feel like you deserve to
Feel like your not good enough
I am here to say
You don’t have to
You don’t deserve it
You are so much more than good enough

If only I could trade places with you
If I could take you out of you
And show you what I see
You could love yourself
The way I love you

I know
I’m a hypocrite
Here I am
Standing in the shadows
Behind my mask
Taking refuge in the darkness
And no
I won’t ever let you see
Me for me
Cause I hate who I am
And I don’t want to lose you...
For all the people who feel the way I do, let me help me show you what I see. You are beautiful.
