If You Really Knew Me

If you really knew me Would you be surprised? Could you make yourself gasp If you saw beyond my eyes? Will the truth startle you And scare you away? Or would it welcome you And ask you to stay? Would you yell at me And call me a fake? Or would you look closer And find nothing to take? Can I ask you to believe me And say everything is fine? Or would try to save me And help me not to hide? Hide whined all these years Of weak strength and despair. Hold me up with your faith And prove to me you care. All I really want is For someone to dare. Step outside the boundaries And prove the world is fair. But if you really knew me Would you be surprised? Would YOU take the chance To see beyond my eyes?
