What do you see?
When you look into my soul,
What do you see?
When I’m standing here alone?
Do you see the butterflies you give me?
Or do you pity the feelings you give me?
What do you see?
When you look into my soul,
What do you feel?
Do you feel how my being flutters with your single sight?
Or do you wish for me to forget you all of the time?
When you look into my soul,
What do you see?
Do you see me as someone brave?
Or do you see me as a feeble thing?
Do you see the beauty?
Or just the pain?
Because I can tell you look uncomfortable,
Looking so deep into my soul.
So tell me,
What do you see?
When you look into my soul,
What do you see?
When I’m standing here alone?
Because I see you.
I see you,
I see your soul,
I see your heart,
I see beyond the facade you put up,
I see you for you.
I’ll tell you,
When I look into your soul,
What I see.
I see a person,
Fearful yet fearless.
I see a man,
Smart and brave with no one to blame.
When I look into your soul,
I see beauty of all kinds,
What do you see when you look into mine?
