Melissa Ferrick — To Let You See Me lyrics

Lyrics

Yeah that’s me yeah behind you
hoping that you won’t see
that i am not all they make me out to be but oh to let you see me cuz i am not that pretty
oh but you will find out
and then, you will leave me so let me make up all sorts of excuses
for why we, shouldn’t do this
let me think that my heart is not involved
let me think we are just using each other
and we’re equal in our faults
but oh to let you see me cuz i am not that pretty
oh but you will find out and then
you will leave me but all this nervous excitement
all these reasons to try and get it right
and all this procrastination
and all of this disobedient behavior
is making me crawl
but oh to let you see me cuz i am not that pretty
oh but you will find out
and then, you will leave me so let me pretend
that this isn’t happening
let me deny my feelings
let me just talk and talk and talk
let me say that this something
is nothing at all
