The Way You Are Lyrics

Your face is like two sides of a story,

One you show the world, the other I see.

Everyone thinks you're a wonderful man

They don't see how heartless you can be.

They're not here when you raise your hand.

They're not here when you call me names.

They don't see how you use my body

Or how you play your cruel mind games.

You cannot love me

When you're burdened with fear.

You think it's fine to hurt me

'Cause I'm always here.

You don't like what you see

When you look in the mirror

And you don't see me for who I am,

But the way you are.

You've made me pay over again

For every bad thing that's happened to you.

If. I stay, I'll still be your punching bag

Yet there's so much else out there I could do.

I won't be here when you raise your hand.

I won't be here when you call me names.

I won't let you use my body

Or be a pawn in your cruel mind games.

You cannot love me

When you're burdened with fear.

You think it's fine to hurt me

'Cause I'm always here.

You don't like what you see

When you look in the mirror

And you don't see me for who I am …

I'm the pain you don't want to deal with,

The broken dreams you've got to live with,

I'm the reason you give when you fail,

The face you hide behind your veil.

You cannot love me

When you're burdened with fear.

You think it's fine to hurt me

'Cause I'm always here.

You don't like what you see

When you look in the mirror

And you don't see me for who I am,

But the way you are.
