When the mind wanders…#3

All my life, I’ve seen myself through your eyes…
Wondering if I am good enough for your time…
You love me but for all the wrong reasons…
Am I something to you and not someone?
I feel trapped in this pedestal you put me on…
There must be someplace else where I belong…
So, I am done living my life just for you…
You watched me wither and now you watch me bloom…
You’re hiding in the dark but I’m reaching for the sun…
You think I’m beautiful but is that all you can fathom?
‘Cause I am more than what I am to you…
You say I’m pretty but I’ve got magic that you never knew…
And I won’t be confined to your point of view…
I’m breaking through the glass you put me in…
For a rose like me this might be the perfect sin…
But I am more than what I am to you…
You say I’m perfect but I’ve got thorns with my petals, too…
And I won’t be confined to your point of view…
I’m breaking through the glass you put me in…
‘Cause my beauty is from within…
My beauty is from within…
