Lyrics: Gabriella Alvares
Music: Gabriella Alvares
I keep my mascara on when I sleep
So you′ll still think that I'm pretty in the morning
And sometimes after you′re gone, all I do
Is go on my phone until I think it's boring
I look up and now it's the evening, and I′ve not done anything
But I know if you see me I would feel so damn ashamed
Cuz I won′t be appealing to you
If you see it, will you keep it all a secret?
I guess you'll have to love me as I am, and not who I was
Before you really knew me
When my hands would cover my scars
I wanted to run away, never show my face
I hope you say it′s better than before
Don't think that I can hide it anymore, I have to be sure
So can you really love me as I am, and not who I was?
Don′t look at all my bad pictures
(Just close your eyes)
And when you open them I'm perfect again
Cuz I′d rather that than be thinking you'll see me different
That other self, if I could I'd go to hell with them
Maybe you wouldn′t care, and you would say you′ve got things too
That you don't want to share, but I bet I′m much worse than you
Just don't know if you′ll care for the truth
If you see it, will you keep it all a secret?
I guess you'll have to love me as I am, and not who I was
Before you really knew me
When my hands would cover my scars
I wanted to run away, never show my face
I hope you say it′s better than before
Don't think that I can hide it anymore, I have to be sure
So can you really love me as I am, and not who I was?
Will you treat me like royalty
Even though it's not what I′m supposed to be?
Will you hold my hand till you can′t go on?
Will you love someone who gets so much wrong?
Has the magic worn off yet?
I'm just scared that you′ll run away
Away, and I won't get to say
That I′ll love you as you are
