And I understand the ties that bind me
But to be forever in its grasp
Is something I can't believe
And I'm grounded
With this claustrophobic sense of
Wanting to break free
I cry for help and all I can see
Is them waving back at me
And the violence
Of their silence
Was enough to warn me
When can I be beautiful?
When can I be free?
When can I be strong with grace
And intense in pace?
When can I be me?
And then there's you
You have no idea what you do to me
And you have no idea how you infect me
And if you could see me the way I'd like you to
You could set me free
And your soul is possessed by another
I have to look to you as a friend
If you knew just the way I felt
That's something I can't comprehend
For the slightest
Touch of your skin
Was enough to warm me
CHORUS
And why is "too good" to be true
And in fantasy
To be denied of my existence
And ecstasy
And what is it about you
That makes you different from everyone else
And I imagine the rain
And I find Myself
I find myself with you
CHORUS
And when will they see
The way that she sees me?
And when will you see
The way that she sees me?
And when will I see
The way that she sees
And seizes me?
When can I be?
When can I just be?
When can I be me?
