Unlikely Friends

I was wondering what you thought of me Because lately I've been wondering such I don't recognize that girl in the mirror It's not the same feel nor touch Her face, once defined by purple-ish lines Is unrecognizable behind her mask And trying to stay in loved ones lives Has proved too difficult a task People here love me for who I am And I guess I've never noticed before Here I am happy, here I can fly There I was always down on the floor I was wondering whether you saw the mask As I rush it on each day And whether you see the evil in me That so often pushes away When you see me smile do you see a tear? Do you see the agony behind? I know you hardly know this girl But please take my hand and find That we are not so different now Even though our pasts aren't one My eyes see sadness glistening in yours We both deserve innocent fun I was wondering what you thought of me Because i'd like to make a difference now I want to make you smile too But I need you to tell me how I was wondering why this was happening But it seems to be for the best I don't know this girl in the mirror But you seem to know all the rest.
