My eyes
I could still recall the moment
I could still recall the day
It was like nothing ever happened
The moment you walked into my life
But still it seems like a bad story
When I tell you how my life has been
About the abuse and the hurt
About the bruises and the scars
I'm not as old as you think I am
I'm not as young as my face says I am
I'm just as old as my eyes tell you I am
And I know that you think you know me
But you don't know anything
How can I ever tell you what happened
With all those men with all those wounds?
How can you ever deal with my past?
How can these scars and wounds ever heal?
I can't even imagine being here alive
When all I used to want was die
I'm not as old as you think I am
I'm not as young as my face says I am
I'm just as old as my eyes tell you I am
My eyes have seen way too much sorrow
My eyes have watched just too much pain
Sometimes I wish I could be blind and turn my eyes away
I'm not as old as you think I am
I'm not as young as my face says I am
I'm just as old as my eyes tell you I am
I'm not as old as you think I am
I'm not as young as my face says I am
I'm just as old as my eyes tell you I am
