Do You See Me

(Album: To A Stranger - 2018)

Deal with the intensity
I turn to meet my reflection and say
Deal with the intensity
It's a necessity that you be able to calm it
Don't you dare go messing up
The things that are perfect enough as they are
Deal with the intensity
Don't let them see you weak, it's not worth it I promise

And I don't wanna break that easy
I don't wanna waste my time
But turning up just ain't that simple
Impossible to quiet my mind
And I don't wanna risk yours either
But I don't wanna see you go
'Cause lately I have just been floating
I'm hurting the people I love, that I know for sure

So tell me do you see me
For everything that I am for
Can you see that my walls have worn
I wish it would be easy
To focus on these one by one
To just be still and rest my heart

Silence you out of you
Internalize all you're desperate to say
Make them think that you're reserved
But when you're alone, it's a different display
Of everything that you are feeling
Of everything that you can't stop
Just focus on the cracks in the ceiling
And not the disarray or the shards of glass

'Cause I don't wanna break that easy
I don't wanna waste my time
Starting to think that I can't do this
Impossible to silence my mind
And I don't wanna hurt nobody
'Cause I don't wanna see them go
Oh, lately I have just been falling
I need to be silent, I'm trying

So tell me do you see me
For everything that I am for
Can you see that my walls have worn
I wish it would be easy
To focus on these one by one
To just be still and rest my heart

'Cause everything is moving baby and it just won't stop

I guess that it was all another ruse just to get to me
Maybe I should not have been naive and accepted deeds
Like the constant fear that all you want is to cut up my heart
Show me off like fur coats, I'm just an accessory
The valid comprehension of a love that isn't meant to be
Violet colored lies that are embedded in my memory
I swear I'm not the girl that I always pretend to be
But honesty, it's simple, you know, you know, you know

'Cause I don't wanna break that easy
I don't wanna waste my time
Starting to think I can't do this
Impossible to silence my mind
And I don't wanna hurt nobody
'Cause I don't wanna see them go
Oh, lately I have just been falling
I need to be silent, I'm trying

So tell me do you see me
For everything that I am for
Can you see that my walls have worn
I wish it would be easy
To focus on these one by one
To just be still and rest my heart

'Cause everything is moving baby and it just won't stop
Can't hold on to the world as it's spinning, I could just fall off
'Cause everything is moving baby and it just won't stop
