She smiles through a thousand tears
Don't say "she takes it all for granted"
It seems as though I've always been
who lives inside the golden world
but don't believe thats all there is to see
You'll never know the real me
and harbors adolescent fears
She dreams of all that she can never be
and wades in insecurity
and hides herself inside of me
I'm well aware of all I have
Don't think that I am disenchanted
Please understand.
somebody outside looking in
Well here I am
for all of them to bleed
But they can't take my heart from me
And they can't bring me to my knees
They'll never know the real me.
