I Need You To Look

Tear off my glamorous skin,
And look at me for who I really am.
For who I want to be.
Look at my real beauty.

Why do you hate me so?
When I do it all for you.
When all I live for is to please you.
Look at who you’re killing inside.

I’ll hold my head high,
To disguise my rotting heart.
To conceal my crusty tears.
Look at what you’re doing to me.

I’ll stand before you today,
Because he’s here to hold me in the night
Hold my head high and I’ll be okay
Look at who I’m hiding from you.

I’ll see you tomorrow
And I’ll be different from who you see
The girl you see standing before you.
Look at who you’re tearing down.

I’ll fade away soon enough,
Like the fake color of your hair.
Your wish will come true.
Look at who you’re forcing me to be.

Tear me down,
I’ll rebuild myself again.
Our games of cat and mouse.
Look at God’s reality.

You don’t phase me.
