Look into my eyes
See the child inside
See the years of waiting
Years of watching
Years of trying
Watch me struggle
Watch me fall
As you stand there
And don't help at all

See my tears
piled in a corner
Hidden there
To evade your anger
See the way I shake and tremble
I know you see but but you turn up your nose

All I want is for you to be proud
I want to see your smile
A smile that I created
I want to hear the words
I want to be held
I want to know that I did something right

But if I can't have that then I guess I'll just be noticed
For something else

Cause if I can't make you proud
With everything I've tried

Then watch me crash
And watch me burn

Cause then at least I'll have your attention
