Melissa Ferrick - To Let You See Me

Album:

Yeah that's me,
Yeah behind you
Hoping that you won't see
That I'm not all
They make me out to be

But oh to let you see me
'cause I am not that pretty
But you will find out and then
You will leave me

So let me make up
All sorts of excuses
For why we shouldn't do this
Let me think that my heart is not involved
Let me think we're just using each other and
We're equal in our faults

But oh to let you see me
'cause I am not that pretty
Oh, but you will find out and then
You will leave me

But oh, all of this nervous excitement and
All these reasons to try to get it right and
All this procrastination and all of this
disobedient behavior
is making me crawl

But oh to let you see me
'cause I am not that pretty
Oh, but you will find out and then
You will leave me

So let me pretend
That this isn't happening,
Let me deny my feelings
Let me just talk and talk and talk
And let me say that this something
Is nothing at all.

Yeah that's me,
Yeah behind you
Hoping that you won't see
That I am not all
They make me out to be.
