Read My Lips

I may appear to be

Just a sullen girl who doesn’t care

But really I'm just scared

Try, I try the best I can

It’s so hard for me to beat this curse

And find my sense of worth

I want to cut the strings

When my own thoughts bring me down

I need to stop and breathe

If I don’t I just might drown

If you read my lips

You’ll be surprised

Read between the lines that I have drawn

You will find a soul waiting to fly

For so long

Why do I laugh out loud

When there’s nothing funny to be heard,

Stumbling on every word?

How, how do I fit in?

All the others look beautiful

Here I am so plain

I want to cut the strings

When my own thoughts bring me down

I need to stop and breathe

If I don’t I just might drown

If you read my lips

You’ll be surprised

Read between the lines that I have drawn

You will find a soul waiting to fly

For so long

One day I’m going to shine

Like the way that they do

And shed this lonely skin

I’ll be like you

If you read my lips

You’ll be surprised

Read between the lines that I have drawn

You will find a soul waiting to fly

For so long
