Look.
Look at me, am I pretty?
Do you see beauty and grace?
Do I meet your high standards?
Am I worthy of this place?
You tell me that you want me
That I mean something to you
That you need me in your life
But I'm not so sure it's true
Now look closer than you did
At the person who's inside me
Do you see the broken girl?
Hiding oh so timidly
So will you turn away now?
Will you leave this horrid mess?
Like all the ones before you
And the the answer will be yes
But then you surprise me
You look past my painful past
You could find the good I once was
Break through my walls at last!
Though you know it isn't easy
You begin to help me see
You're not here for fame and glory
You're simply here to love me
I begin to let you in now
How did I not before?
This is all I ever wanted
It is everything and more
I now know the difference
Between true love and abuse
Between those who give me no choice
And those who let me choose
Though this may not last forever
And we may go our separate ways
You will always have my love
Because you didn't make me pay
