What do you see when you look at me?
A girl who has confidence, who lives carefree?
I put up a good front, a good show for you all,
But in reality I’m feeling rather quite small.
My “double life”, as I like to call it, is tearing me apart.
This is too much to handle for my kind and soulful heart.
I’m feeling quite lost and almost alone.
Then I think of you and I feel close to home.
I can’t sleep, eat, or breathe…
Just to have you close is what I seem to need.
My heart aches in agony everyday that goes by.
To see you face again, I just close my eyes.
Every day I go about and do the same things.
It’s hard to believe this is all my life brings.
Then I look in the mirror and see my face.
I don’t feel like I belong in this place.
The other part of me is slowly coming out.
The woman who was strong is starting to shout!
It’s OK to be scared it’s OK to feel pain.
Stand up for yourself! Try not to refrain!
Yes, you have opened my eyes to help me see.
You’ve helped me realize that this is not me.
To “get away” from you is not what is right.
The bond that we have has been bound so tight.
I know that I am causing you so much distress.
I just don’t feel that leaving you is for the best.
This is what my “double life” leads.
A woman who is torn with so many dreams
Does she listen to her heart or does she follow her head?
Or, is her life just better off dead?
