I See You - Aimee Mann

There is a girl up in her bed

Blade against her skin

I see you

Hoping the pain covers the dread

Keeps the secrets in

I see you

You think there’s no one there

To hear your plea

But I can see

There is a girl over a cliff

Trying to break her fall

I see you

Hoping she’ll find one little if

Clinging to the wall

I see you

Whether it’s black despair

Or just ennui

I can see

Wires get crossed and tangled

People bruise and they leave

But I see

And I believe

There is a girl out with the tide

Empty as the sky

I see you

Dead to the world, frozen inside

Drier than an eye

I see you

You want to disappear

And just not be

But I can see

People get crushed and broken

People lose and they grieve

But I see

And I believe

I see

And I believe
