I Need Them to See Me

Those are the brakes

I should just accept it

So many mistakes

And yet I've always kept it together

But not now

Another run

Might be over before it's begun

So I'll only be known as this washed up wife

In a sad and miserable joke of a life

If living is the word that does apply

Or maybe I

Should try and live

Before I die

I need them to see me

I need them to know I exist

I need to stand up and be counted

Make it clear I won't be dismissed

I need to sing out

I must have a voice

Though I know it could kill me

It isn't too hard of a choice

I need the reward

For the years I gave up

My beauty restored

As I drink from the cup

Tomorrow will be the dreams of today

The name on their lips

Is gonna be Faye

I need them to see me

I need them to see that I'm strong

To show them I know where I'm going

Instead of just going along

To turn this around

To be found before I disappear

I need them to see me

And be glad that I'm here

Nobody knows what'll happen

No one has a cystal ball

So I worry and wait

Better dead than too late

And to hell with them all

Here's to one more curtain call

I need them to see me

I need to feel something and fast

To be in this moment right now

Before the moment has passed

It's the cruelty of life

We're denied what we need the most

So before I'm a ghost

I need them to see me

I need them to see me

I need them to see me
