You see me as strong, but my strength hides my weakness
You see me as happy, but my happiness hides my sadness
You see me smile, but my smile hides my vulnerability
You say you my friend, can you not see what I am hiding?

You mistake me listening as if I don't need to be listened to
You mistake my advice as if I don't need it too
You mistake me smiling as if I am content
You say you my friend, can you not see that I am scared?

I let you shine cause I am too broken to care
I let you sing cause I am too hurt to hear my own voice
I let you be cause I feel like I cannot be
You say you my friend, can you see that I am yours?
