Evanescence - Everybody's fool

I look at you

and I can see it in your face

you think you hide it

but I see you.

I see the hurt

the dark circles beneath your eyes

and the quiet plea

dancing on your bottom lip.

too afraid to be voiced

too afraid to be heard

because you’re too afraid to be hurt.

and I just want to take you and

wrap you up my arms

hold you, console you

tell you things that you’ll believe

but you don’t seem to believe

anything anymore

because you have been deceived

far too many times

so I’ll just look at you

and see the pain in your fake smile

and I’ll smile back

and I’ll hear the attempted deception

when you tell me that you’re just tired

and I’ll say me too.

I know you’re broken inside

I can see it in your face.
