If only you could see
What only I can see.
A world of glaring colour,
Streaked with black and white.

If only you could see,
The way she looks at you.
And the way he leaves you hanging,
Right until the end.

If only you could see,
Who I really am.
Beneath all the pretence,
A little girl in disguise.

If only you could see,
That he just wants to fly.
But you just grip him tighter,
Suppressing him again.

If only you could see,
All that you really are.
Beauty beyond trails,
Left by those who hate.

If only you could see,
The damage that you’re doing.
Hurting no one but you,
Pains me more than you know.

If only you could see,
How much she really cares.
And all the hope for you,
Is too much to throw away.

If only you could see,
How blind I really am.
To what’s right in front of me,
I wish I had your eyes.
