My Own Eyes

Scared to give in
Scared of what I've been
So stuck, I cant move
Paralyzed, as you disapprove
Nothings left inside
Left wide open as I wilt and die

Underneath this fragile face
Lies a person that I can't relate
Leave me in this place
With this mind as I negotiate

I cant change
My own eyes look strange
Can't look in this Mirror
And I still can't hear
Even if I try
I'll keep asking "Why?"

Underneath this fragile face

Lies a person that I can't relate

Leave me in this place

With this mind as I negotiate

Here I stand

With their future at hand

I had to find out who I really was, or wasn't

So Sick of who I was, or wasn't

Nothing can stop me

Because I have to be... me.
