lyrics

Do you see me standing here?
While everyone else just passes right on by?
You don’t even see the tear
That’s falling from my watchful eye.

Am I invisible? I think so.
Why else do you surpass me as I wait?
You don’t even seem to know
That I’m not necessarily someone to hate.

Do I scare you? Am I a freak?
Do you think we are so not the same
That you can’t even go a week
Without calling me a hateful name?

There have been times when I’ve considered running away
And sometimes I cry myself to sleep
And I didn’t think I could live to see another day
For fear of you tossing my hopes in one big dejected heap.

Why are you so cruel?
Do you think you’re being cool?
Why are you so mean?
Am I really that unseen?

If I had a crystal ball
And I could tell what would soon come to be
Maybe then I wouldn’t fall
Into your conspiracy.

Just last week I thought you were done
Laughing about me, about my hair and my clothes,
But then you came up with reason number 101
Why I'm to be avoided, ‘cause everyone knows

That I’m a nobody, a dish on the side
How awful it is, just to see me.
Do you know how much I wish I could hide?
Do you know what it’s like to be me?

Don’t worry about me, though, I’m tough.
At least, that’s the stoic mask I wear.
Even when the going gets rough,
I take it all in, but outside I only stare.

Eventually I’m sure I’ll find a real friend;
One who’ll treat me as if I were a queen.
But for now, I’m stuck here till the end
Because I’m unseen.
