Close your eyes
What do you see?
Fear dominating reality
Imagining my journey
Now what's it gonna be?
Wanting to be left alone
Craving love all on my own
Please leave and let me breathe
I may be losing now, watch when I succeed
Please have faith in me
I'm much smarter than I seem
I don't know whether to believe what I take personally
Because after all, I'm not what you perceive
I'm not what you perceive
That says a lot more about you than me
I'm not what you perceive
Please leave and let me breathe
I'm not what you perceive
You're mean
I am much stronger than you'd expect I'd be
I face rejection with a smile hiding my tears
I will reach my destination, look back proudly
Respect the timing while I shall follow my dreams
I will achieve all that I foresee
I will one day be my own hero and then you'll come to see
I was never stupid, I was never weak
I was never ugly, I was never a freak
All those words people described me as
Were not only mean
They were not even about me
I'm not what you perceive
Please leave and let me breathe
I may be losing now, watch when I succeed
Please have faith in me
I'm much smarter than I seem
I don't know whether to believe what I take personally
Because after all, I'm not what you perceive
That says a lot more about you than me
Please leave and let me breathe
I'm not what you perceive
You're mean
