If I couldn't feel Would you call me strong? If my eyes never started to well, Would I be good enough? If I was dependent If I was putting out Would I ever be liked By someone that I loved? Or would there still be no one If I was less of myself More of everyone else Would you think that I was nice? If I blended into the crowd, Would that surprise you? Would it make me Just another victim To your sightless eyes? Or would I just be no one? If I was a girl that could be loved Just as easily as it spilled from my blood Would you love me then? Maybe if I was pretty enough, Perhaps I had a smile, If my defense wasn't to be rough And live in constant denial, Would you see me then? Or would I still be no one I am tired of living under a guise Of words that cut like a knife And being unseen To the nakedest of eyes They wonder why I am so tough, Why I have never shed a single tear They must think that my life is fine, That it's better to hurt than be hurt But they don't no how much hurt Goes into being no one

No One
If I couldn't feel Would you call me strong? If my eyes never started to well, Would I be good enough? If I was dependent If I was putting out Would I ever be liked By someone that I loved? Or would there still be no one If I was less of myself More of everyone else Would you think that I was nice? If I blended into the crowd, Would that surprise you? Would it make me Just another victim To your sightless eyes? Or would I just be no one? If I was a girl that could be loved Just as easily as it spilled from my blood Would you love me then? Maybe if I was pretty enough, Perhaps I had a smile, If my defense wasn't to be rough And live in constant denial, Would you see me then? Or would I still be no one I am tired of living under a guise Of words that cut like a knife And being unseen To the nakedest of eyes They wonder why I am so tough, Why I have never shed a single tear They must think that my life is fine, That it's better to hurt than be hurt But they don't no how much hurt Goes into being no one
I am unseen to everyone I have ever loved I am gone To all of those that I will ever want But maybe I can just continue To be no one
