With morning hair I lie and stare

At the time through glassy eyes

And I'd love to stay in disarray

But the sun had the nerve to rise

And I smile proud to please the crowd

Do you think I look nice?

And all I wear is my despair

Beneath today's disguise

I say what I mean, but I never mean what I say

Am I alive, or am I just awake?

You will never know who I really am inside

You only see what I can't hide

And if you even see that much

Then stop right there, that's close enough

Can you stand to be around me?

Well that makes one of us

I don't deserve your company

And I don't deserve your trust

I say what I mean, but I never mean what I say

Am I alive, or am I just awake?

You will never know who I really am inside

You only see what I can't hide

And if you even see that much

Then stop right there, that's close enough

I say what I mean, but I never mean what I say

Am I alive, or am I just wake?

I've got time, if you don't mind

Here's one more cliche:

I'm so close, yet so far away

And you will never know who I really am inside

You only see what I can't hide

And if you even see that much

Then stop right there, that's close enough
