-Song for the Liberal Arts band-
Would you look me in the eyes and tell me everything … I am
Touch my face and make me believe that I can
Be exactly what you want …
But I’m not
I’m just fucking not.
When you look me in the eyes
And tell me I’m (pause)
Okay.
Can you really believe the words that … you say
Cuz I can’t,
No I can’t
Be anything you want
No I’m not, I’m just not
(Chorus)
One day,
just maybe
I’ll see myself as I am
Tuesday, maybe Wednesday
You’ll take me from that
Reflection, my reflection
Kiss me and tell me it’s okay
But it’s not okay
Maybe,
just not lately
Maybe I’ll be okay
Would you look me in the eyes
And tell me
I’m … (Pause) Okay
Hold my face as the tears run down … My face
Maybe one day
Just not today
One day ill see clearly
Just not today
Won’t you take my
Fucking mirrors away
-break-
When you look me in the eyes
Tell me everything
I’m not
Because one day
Just not lately
Because one day
Just not lately
Maybe
I’ll believe you
