I wish you could see

The freckles you hate are the ones I love.

Those curls you try to straighten are the ones I can't wait to see

The eyes you think no one could love are burned into my soul

 

I wish you could see

Those hands you think can do nothing are the ones I could spend eternity holding

That personality you hate is the one we are waiting to see what could be

These talents you think are useless are the ones I wish I had

 

I wish you could see

All these people who adore you

How badly they all want to set you free

But they don't know how

 

I wish you could see

The pain I feel at each mark on your wrist

The marks on my soul are just as deep

I put you before myself and I can't stand to see you in pain

 

I wish you could see

That every mark you leave on yourself

Leaves an even bigger hole in me

No matter how you try to hide it

 

I wish you could see

Every time you push me away

Leaving me standing helplessly

Causes me to bleed

 

I wish you could see

The disappeaing scars on my wrist

Despite what you believe

I know what it's like

 

I wish that you could see

And smell and hear and taste and feel

Just how much I love you

Maybe then, you'd let me in
