When I fall to my knees, I'm weak,
and I finally let down my guard,
I allow the real me to show through,
just in time to be hit so hard.

My true colors show through the paint,
reflection is no longer a decieving lie,
I look at myself and smile,
instead of the normal tears and sighs.

I'm finally able to smile at myself,
despite my "apparent" confidence,
I finally show myself, all of me,
and I feel myself wince.

I was so scared of rejection,
that I hid what I felt and thought,
I hid what I wanted, what was good for me,
I lied about the life I sought.

You saw through it all,
you saw my strength and weakness,
you knew when I was being true,
and when I was hiding all this.

You saw through me,
and I finally let it all go,
I shed my layers of me,
and let my true side show.

You loved me for who I was,
and I wasn't afraid to be me,
I knew you loved me cause I was me,
and there was no one I'd rather be.

I let my guard down for the first time...
and in the mist of all my bravery,
you broke my heart in two.
i coward to the corner, despite to so-confident me.

I thought I was strong, I thought I could make it,
I thought I could get through anything with you,
I realized that deep inside I was weak,
and nothing I had earlier believed was true.

I loved myself for the wrong reasons,
I love myself cause you loved me,
What you told me I was to you
was now the image that I would see.

Now what was I to see without you,
you were my eyes of reflection,
you saw what I never could,
was what I had seen through you deception?

I want to believe you when you say I'm beautiful,
but it's so hard after what you did to my heart,
I guess I must believe I am so that I can be my own eyes,
so that next time someone does this I won't fall apart.
