You look at me and see the girl
Who lives inside the golden world
But don't believe
That's all there is to see
You'll never know the real me
She smiles through a thousand tears
And harbours adolescent fears
She dreams all she can never be
She wades in insecurity
And hides herself inside of me
Don't say she takes it all for granted
she's well aware of all she has
Don't think i am disenchanted
Please understand my troubles
It seems as though I've always been
Somebody outside, looking in
Well, here I am
For all of them to make me bleed
But they shall not bring me to my knees
For they cannot take my heart to hold and see
For they will never know the real me
