I look at you and you don’t like what I see
But no matter what you say, I still see utter beauty.
Past bags under your eyes, through tears under your lashes
Long brown hair gnarled and uncombed, Eyebrows expressionless.
I can see all the battles you've won deep down inside your eyes
The ones that are within you, no matter how much you deny.
The only thing I don’t see is how they've made you stronger
Your eyes are beaten down by the years passed that have conquered.
But what you don’t tell anyone, is you’re the one who made them that way
You blame it on others but all the wars have exactly the same name.
The rings around your eyes tell me how long it has been
Since you’ve opened up your door and actually let somebody in
You can handle the cold shoulder if it’s yours pushing you aside
But would you let somebody love you if they walked into your life?
