Maybe You'Ll Understand

If you look beyond my scars Far, far away You might just see the happy girl That's starting to fade away. If you look back to the past And notice who I was You'll notice now that who I am Isn't really me. If you look beyond my smile Beyond my fading face If you look beyond the pain You might just feel the same. If you look past my tears And past the fallen blood If you pass all of that Then you will have fallen. If you fall where I fell Then you might notice too This life I live is nothing But a show that I put on for you. If you look past my fake smile Past my fake outside Then you will see what is wrong Deep, deep inside. If you go down deep enough You might get to my heart If you see the crack in it You'll know what fell apart. If you travel through my blood And look up at my skin You might just see the scares That show up deep within. If you look beyond the scars Beyond my fading arm Maybe then, and only then Will you understand...
