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.

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.

When you love someone so deeply they become your life,it's easy to succumb to overwhelming fears inside,blindly I imagined I could keep you under glass,now I understand to hold you I must open my hands, and watch you rise.

Standing alone,eager to just believe,it's good enough to be what you really are,but in your heart,uncertainty forever lies,and you'll always be,somewhere on the outside.

So many I considered, closest to me,turned on a dime and sold me out dutifully,although that knife was chipping away at me,they turned their eyes away and went home to sleep.

I can make it through the rain,I can stand up once again,on my own, and I know,that I’m strong enough to mend,and every time I feel afraidI hold tighter to my faith,and I live one more dayand I make it through the rain.

Who's gonna love you when it all falls down?Who's gonna love you when your bankroll runs out?Who's gonna care when the novelty's over?When the star of the show isn't you anymore.Nobody cares when the tears of a clown fall down(I guess your mama never told you what goes around comes back around).

Please be at peace father,I'm at peace with you,bitterness isn't worth clinging to,after all the anguish we've all been through.

Father, thanks for reaching out and lovingly,saying that you've always been proud of me,I needed to feel that so desperately,you're always alive inside of me.

See, I'm looking for a man that'll rub me slow, make me sing real high when he goes down low.
