When you look in my eyes

Can you see

Tears I've cried

All I wish to be?

When you look in my eyes

Can you reach

Problems you don't recognize

Or will you just preach?

When you look in my eyes

Can you tell

Stare at the lies

That condemn me to hell?

When you look in my eyes

Can you know

The shocking surprise

Of secrets that don't show

When you look in my eyes

Can you sense

Pain I've disguised

The worries condensed?

When you look in my eyes

What will you see

Will you see only conflict

And not me for me?
