I SEE ME

Verse 1 Do you notice my silence When I say I’m okay? Do you hear what I’m not saying When I look away? I kept waiting for someone To read between the lines But the truth was written In these eyes the whole time Pre-Chorus I was asking for a mirror In somebody else’s view Looking for permission Just to feel the truth Chorus I want to feel I want to heal I want to know This heart is real I wanted to be heard I wanted to be seen But I was standing here Not seeing me Verse 2 Every “I’m fine” Was a quiet disguise Every small goodbye Was me shrinking inside I kept searching faces Hoping one would know That I was barely holding What I wouldn’t show Pre-Chorus I don’t need perfection I don’t need applause I just need the courage To see past my flaws Chorus I want to feel I want to heal I want to know This heart is real I wanted the world To finally agree But I was right here Not seeing me Bridge Maybe I’ve been waiting For the wrong kind of light Looking for someone else To tell me I’m alright But the strength I was chasing Was already in me Hidden in the cracks I was too scared to see Final Chorus I’m gonna feel I’m gonna heal I’ve always known This heart is real I don’t need the world To finally agree I was here all along I see me I see me.
