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
[Post-Chorus]
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
