Can you not see me?
My eyes are filled with tears
Can you not hear me?
I've been crying all of these years
I guess I've hidden it inside
I've kept it in for as long as I could
I guess I must be a pretty good actress
And never let it show
I'm afraid you'll see the little girl
Not the little girl who's tough in every single way
Only a few people have seen me at my worst
Very few people have seen me cry
I apologize to those
They're not your problem
But they are mine
But as strong as I look
I have a few fears
I've shed so many tears
Over you
