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
