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

She smiles through a thousand tears
And harbors adolescent fears
She dreams of all
That she could never be
She wades in insecurity, yeah yeah
And hides herself inside of me

Don´t say she takes it all for granted
I am well aware of all I have
Don´t think that I am disenchanted
Please understand

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
