Lucky

by Sophie   Jun 21, 2006


I look into your eyes
We're together everyday
We talk about everything
But there's so much I want to say!

You think you can see through me
Can you tell what's there?
It's not that I don't want to be with you
It's not that I don't care

For these eyes hide the pain
I thought would disappear
For this body hides the shame
I thought would one day clear

You claim I don't talk about me
Think for a second, how could I?
For this pain I hide in my heart
Forces my lips to lie

I wish you could see how you've helped
This little girl learn how to smile
Because it hurts to believe you've discovered
That a while ago, I thought I should die

I don't want to be a burden
And im learning it's good to be me
Everyday my heart feels heavy
As it took me so long to see

Please forgive the marks on my skin
I didn't think of it through all the pain
There were reasons I did what I did
The hurt was causing my soul to drain

But today I lifted my head up
And looked at the sky, pure blue
I watched you while you were sleeping
And realized how lucky I was to have you
