I can never be

Lyrics: Marie Jenkins Music: Marie Jenkins You bought me gold and it turned my skin green I washed for days and it wouldn't come clean I tried to show you to make you believe But you took my hands and said "that's not what I perceive" What did you mean Do you see someone I will never see I wish I could see how you see me You planted flowers one day in the shade You buried them like a grave So I dug the seeds out before it could rain I took what you gardened and hid them away But you watered that spot each day You never gave up though there's nothing to save Do you see someone I can never be I wish I could see how you see me I wish I could see how you see me
