Eyeshades wisk the truth away
With dull lips now stained of shine
And hair sculpted to the perfect mold
As I look upon you from the outside.
I wish I could tell you you're beautiful
And I would if you'd ever believe.
If only you could see the beauty in you
That is so clear to me
Alone you shred yourself away
In body and in spirit
Tears hide behind your made up eyes
As I look upon you from the inside
I wish I could tell you you're wonderful
And I would if you'd ever believe
If only you could see the wonder in you
That is so clear to me.
Freedom, laughter, happiness
Love, fulfillment, and terror
Emotion, meaning, and everything
As I look upon what you mean to me.
