With Me Now

If I act, then you won't see the girl behind the smile
You can't see the child that's hiding in her eyes
You will only see the way she moves, such poise and style
It's almost like she's confidence personified
It's like she showers her light on everyone for miles
It's easy just to sit and watch her shine
But she's scared and looking deeper is not so worthwhile
There's more that hides within than you can analyse

Part of me says this is wherе I want to be
I've nevеr been so far away from safe
I'm telling you, I'll handle all this easily
Why don't you stay beside me, just in case?

I am standing on my own two feet
So hear me now

I don't know what I am
I am a nightmare
I'm reaching out to you
Tell me you're there
I hate to see your face
I need you, darling
If I reach into the sky
What will the stars bring
Will they fall on me
Or pull me up from on the ground?
Who's with me now?

Somehow it doesn't feel like I am up this high
But I think I can see my house from here
I can do this, I'm sure you can see it in my eyes
I'm here to prove I won't just disappear

I am real, I am in your arms
So look at me

I don't know what I am
I am a nightmare
I'm reaching out to you
Tell me you're there
I hate to see your face
I need you, darling
If I reach into the sky
What will the stars bring?
Will they fall on me?
Or pull me up from on the ground?
If I should lose my way
Would you help to guide me back down?
Who's with me now?

I never imagined I would end up here
But maybe I've been right here all along

I refuse to hide from what I am
I'm terrified. I understand
Now is not the time for me to close my eyes
