Not What I Seem

When you look my way what do you see A painted canvas of me Or an upside down beauty in black and white The kind of girl you'd like to find prowling your streets tonight I am not what I seem And I'm not as lovely as you'd like me to be I don't want to live forever, it's not a price I'll pay To stand and be admired while my life slips away Like Ophelia in the water you'll Stand and gaze upon her while she drowns And then comment on her beauty as If it was her duty to please your eye And make you feel something inside I am not what I seem And I'm not as lovely as you'd like me to be Always running in circles, right back to the past Desperate, determined the next love will last And wondering why, as time passes by I still can't find words for the thoughts on my mind I am not what I seem And I'm not as lovely as you'd like me to be I am not what I seem And I'm not as lovely as you'd like me to be
