Catch a Glimpse

Sometimes I feel it's all too much
Sometimes I want to break free
Free from this body of mine
Free from this world that I see

Sometimes I catch a glimpse
I see you looking back at me
I see something behind my eyes
Something that wants out of me

Sometimes I hear you cry
Sometimes I listen to my lies
Sometimes I convince me
That the part I dislike is you and not me

Sometimes I look at my face
Sometimes I don't like what I see
Sometimes I know that you're there
Because the person I see is not me
