See me like you do: written by Truth as the Tavern
She stands in the mirror, can’t look too long
The cracks in her smile tell her what went wrong
She hides her heart behind grace and disguise
But she don’t believe the truth in her eyes
She hears them say she’s strong, she’s kind
But all she feels is left behind
Oh, if I could see me like you do
Through eyes that don’t see every bruise
If I could find what you swear is true
Maybe I could love me too
Oh, I wish I could see me — see me like you do
She’s got old scars no one can find
Wounds that healed but still cross her mind
Every word she never said
Echoes loud while she lay in bed
She wants to trust, but fear remains
Afraid your light will see her pain
Oh, if I could see me like you do
Through eyes that don’t see every bruise
If I could find what you swear is true
Maybe I could love me too
Oh, I wish I could see me — see me like you do
Maybe one day I’ll believe
There’s beauty in what’s left of me
Till then I’ll borrow your faith
And let it show me the way
Oh, if I could see me like you do Maybe I’d stop chasing proof
If I could find what you swear is true
Maybe I could love me too
Oh, I wish I could see me see me like you do
She stands in the mirror, looks once more
This time she don’t turn away like before like before
