How can you say the words when your actions tell me I'm true

I wonder if showing you your worth,
telling you about how you deserve, to feel a kind of truth easily denied, made me someone you didn't expect.
And everyone wants and needs a piece. I was told you gave mine away for free

I'll never be who you want. Even if only I were to understand you, even if only I were to know what is you, we pretend so they don't say we are what we feel we are each day.

In your mind I could never be enough.
Blind to when I show you I'm right.
Behind what you fear is the light to guide us out there
You'd rather throw it away than be seen, so you can live without the fear that I lead you through.

You told me our days are numbered, because I'm your most dangerous crime.
To save you I must disappear. Because I can't be mistaken for what is yours, out of fear that they will hurt all you hold dear.

And all I understand is their silence. It tells me they think they understand, but the whispers you all keep from me, etches what everyone knows, that I'm unrealistic if I don't accept — that I know — my place and worth.

So I can show I know I'm this, when empty words are all I have left, and we have ceased to exist. Am I in the dreams that do come true? Because all I dream is to be enough and real to you.

Make you understand dignity again and that you deserve it too. To have something unconditional. To show you're human too. And what you did is to protect all who is love for you.

I hope you find all I'm not to you. I hope it's the part your hope is looking through. Because just like I wait for you, someone waits for me.

Even if I will always cry, knowing what I was always saves my life. I can't be no one forever to you. If you can't see by now, I hope you never peek at what's behind, at what's true and what will never die.
