You look at me and see the girl
Who lives inside the golden world
But don`t believe
That`s all there is to see
You`ll never know the real me

She smiles through a thousand tears
And harbours adolescent fears
She dreams of all
That she can never be
She wades in insecurity
And hides herself inside of me

Don`t say she takes it all for granted
I`m well aware of all I have
Don`t think that I am disenchanted
Please understand

It seems as though I`ve always been
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
