You ask me who i am, you ask me what i do,

you tell me i am beautiful,but if you only knew.

Beneath the Skin and Makeup, beneath the nice hair do,

You will find a searching soul, whos goals Iwill persue.

Underneath this thick wall, the one you want to break,

make sure you think carefully, before you make a mistake.

The world, i want to change,to make a better place,

I yearn to explore all of this, mysterious unknown space.

You will find a girl who loves, to give more than she takes, 

but also a girl whos past, is full of dark mistakes.

I would be lieing if i told you, "what you get is what you see"

because like the ocean, my emotions, are deep as deep can be.

Shallow dosnt describe me, modest dosnt either. 

the personality I display, well it kinda tends to teeter.

I hide behind this mask,I hide behind this face,

because living in this world, its a crazy violent place.

Take away the filter, you know what Isee?

Im not conservative and quiet, like society wants me to be.

because behind the filter in this world, conformity will not phase me.

because in the end i wouldnt want to be,

any one but me.

You tell me that you see me, but do you even hear?

You tell me your not ready, but you lie because of fear.

its hard to say what im feeling,

when you wont give me the time of day.

but sweetheart did you forget, your the one who came my way.

you made me fall for you,I never saw it comeing, 

and as the months came and gone, you suddenly started running.

Did i get to close to you? did you finally see?

the memories that haunt you,just do not scare me.

When i look in your eyes, isee truth and faith, but hurt.

why do you hide from me?why do you shy away.

is their anything that i could do, to make you want to stay?

seeing you now, it kills me, a dagger through my heart.

I want to be whole again, but you torer me apart.

Arte we really finished? tell me are you really through?

because right now all i can see,is distance between me and you.
