To Let You See Me

Yeah that's me

yeah behind you

hoping that you won't see

that i am

not all they make me out to be

But oh to let you see me

cuz i am not that pretty

oh but you will find out

and then, you will leave me

So let me make up

all sorts of excuses

for why we, shouldn't do this

let me think that my heart is not involved

let me think we are just using each other

and we're equal in our faults

But oh to let you see me

cuz i am not that pretty

oh but you will find out and then

you will leave me

But all this nervous excitement

all these reasons to try and get it right

and all this procrastination

and all of this disobedient behavior

is making me crawl

But oh to let you see me

cuz i am not that pretty

oh but you will find out

and then, you will leave me

So let me pretend

that this isn't happening

let me deny my feelings

let me just talk and talk and talk

let me say that this something

is nothing at all
