Never Be Her

every time i reach out
you pull away 
i wish you could see me
instead of your past

i'm not who you see
i'm someone who's just me
i can't be what you're afraid of
i can only be me

i know you've had a rough time
but so have i
even though i can't be everything
at least i try

i'm not who you see
i'm someone who's just me
i can't be what you're afraid of
i'm only me

i hope you think it over
and give me an honest chance

i'm not who you see
i'm someone who's just a girl
i can't be what you're afraid of
i can never be her...
