Confident Eyes
2003 or 2004 (I think)
You left me in this dream
Alone without a clue
Could it be that my love for you
Was everything but true?
When you look at me
What exactly do you see?
A frightened little girl
Or a confident young woman
Ready to take on the world?
After being slapped in the face by reality
Countless amount of times
I’ve only come to realize
I’m nothing but a frightened little girl
Hiding behind confident eyes
I wish I could release the true me
You wouldn’t understand
You couldn’t love me for who I was
But is it all that fair
To like me for who I’m not?
I think I’m slowly falling for you
Will you catch me before I trip and fall?
Maybe if I had you
I wouldn’t have to hide behind confident eyes
I could stare down the world with confidence and pride
Letting go of my long-lost fears
No longer left in a shadow of lies
Like the sun; I too could shine
If only you were mine
