Look closer

Can you not see the lies written on my face
the mattered web of disgust and hate
im keeping my distance
you don\'t need to know me

can you not see the hurt in my smile
the expression so twisted and fake
im keeping my distance
this way i will be safe

can you not see the scars i bare
the truth they hide and pain that was once there
im keeping my distance
you don\'t need to know why

can you not see the person i could be
the laughter and love inside
im keeping my distance
im not welcome here

can you not see the pain i hide
the hurt and betrayal
im keeping my distance
im fed up of lies

can you not see the truth in my eyes
the real me hidden deep inside
i\'ve been keeping my distance
hiding from the world
look closer you might see me tonight
