Why Don't You See Me?

Why Don’t You See Me?

I’ll tell you what you see,
You don’t see me,
Because if you did,
You wouldn’t do some of the things you’ve done,
I love you with all my heart,
But you're not that smart,
You think you have to be all these things,
You just have to be you,

I’ll tell you what I see,
A person that can’t be free,
That’s trapped behind a wall,
Of self doubt,
I can’t figure it out,
You’re so beautiful and so smart,
I used to wish I lived with you,
It would have been too good to be true,

But now I know it would have been wrong,
Because you don’t even know who you are,
Five husbands later,
Your weakness is greater,
Maybe someday you’ll know,
That you’ll always have me,
I hope one day you’ll see,
You don’t need them, you have me
