I am and will always be
More than I can show
You catch only glimpses of me
Will never get to know
The part of me I hide
The part that is never seen
The love that long ago died
The future that could have been
The fake smile you see
Never reaching the eyes
Is more like a plea
Or a clever disguise
Of the covered-up pain
The deeply buried sorrow
The dragons I have slain
The fear of tomorrow
Take me as I am
Let your love find a way
This is not a sham
Or a game I play
I can never give you all
There will always be a hole
Part of me, no matter how small
Stays hidden in my soul
