Who I Am

Can you see me?

I'm not a rich kid

I'm not a good kid

A goody two shoes

Or a master of jewels

I'm a lonely friend

Who's wondering when

I will be seen for who I am

When I'm a mess

When I'm a fool

When my walls are so high

That you see nothing at all

When the mask is a disguise

And I'm left wondering why

My smile always falls

Looking around

I see love in this town

Little beams of light

Can it come through

Or be knocked down to the ground

Still wishing for

This moment when

You see me

For who I am

When I'm in pain

Down on my knees

With tears on the floor

Not knowing if

I can take anymore

Of those sleepless nights

With thoughts of you

Weighing down on my mind

When my heart is sore

Faded away

Into the night

I always steer

Towards the light

Cause I'm not a rich kid

I'm not a good kid

A goodie two shoes

Or a master of jewels

I'm a lonely friend

Who's wondering when

You will see me

For who I am

Just a friend

Who is wishing when

I will be seen

For who I am
