I couldn't look into his eyes Afraid that he might see
The person hiding there inside The person that was me
The well of hell and shame inside The failure that I've been
This shell you see, not really me My mask for life's routine
I can't let you see The mess that is me
I can't put my heart on display Afraid to be seen, afraid I might see
That's why I'm hiding my eyes
For deep inside a wounded heart, Afraid again to soar
Life's broken, battered, shattered. Discarded on the floor
Back then I dreamed. The world It seemed a magic place to be
But life with you changed all of that, Changed all that I could be
You stole my dreams, ripped up my seams With your cruel reality
Got in my head and made me dread Everything that's me
You broke me down, trashed my soul. Ripped me all to shreds
And left me lying everywhere .I wish that I were dead
I can't let you see, The mess that is me
I can't put my heart on display. Afraid to be seen, afraid I might see
That's why I keep hiding my eyes
I just can't keep hiding my eyes
