Looking In - Mariah Carey

You look at me and see the girl

Who lives inside the golden world

But don’t believe

That’s all there is to see

You’ll never know the real me She smiles through a thousand tears

And harbours adolescent fears

She dreams of all

That she can never be She wades in insecurity

And hides herself inside of me Don’t say she takes it all for granted

I’m well aware of all I have

Don’t think that I am disenchanted

Please understand

It seems as though I’ve always been

Somebody outside looking in Well, here I am for all of them to bleed

But they can’t take my heart from me And they can’t bring me to my knees

They’ll never know the real me
