Disguise
People think I'm shallow
'Cause I don't hide it all inside.
They think I'm annoying
'Cause I chatter all the time.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
People think I'm soft
When I allow myself to cry.
They think I'm obnoxious
When I'm fearful for their lives.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
People think I'm simple
For I refuse to tell a lie.
They think I'm too naïve
For I always see the light.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
People don't see that I
Care too much to try to hide.
They don't see my secrets
I have hidden deep inside.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
People don't see that I
Am strong enough to live – and die.
They don't see my worries
Masked in innocent disguise.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
People don't see that I
See much more than meets the eye.
They don't see my darkness
Pushing in my dreams at night.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
I am deeper than they
'Cause I choose not to try to hide.
I am stronger than they
When I choose to let my anger die.
I am smarter than they
For I can see the darkness
And yet choose to focus on the light.
