Please See Me

[Verse] I’m the kid eating lunch alone again today, Hoping someone sees me before I fade away. I’m the mom counting change at the grocery line, My smile doesn’t reach my eyes as I hand you my last dime. I’m the boy with the hand-me-down worn-out shoes, Staying away from home, from the swearing and booze. I’m the man on the porch with no one left to call, Two generations that won’t come… I outlived them all. [Chorus] Please see me, while I’m still here, Don’t make a game out of my tears. I’m not alone, we’re everywhere, Someday you’ll need me— will I be there? Please… see me. [Verse] I’m the one who speaks with an accent you don’t know, Just trying to put down roots where dreams can finally grow. I’m the girl who moves slower but I still try, Some days I fall… but I still reach for the sky. I’m the soldier who came home with shadows deep inside, Fighting my demons alone, the enemy in my mind. I’m the kid bouncing through the system like no one cares, Abandoned again… left alone with my fears. [Chorus] Please see me, while I’m still here, Don’t make a game out of my tears. I’m not alone, we’re everywhere, Someday you’ll need me— will I be there? Please… see me. [Bridge] We stumble, We fall, We break, We cry. We fumble, We stall, But still we try. [Final Chorus (repeat)] Please see me, while I’m still here, Don’t make a game out of my tears. I’m not alone, we’re everywhere, Someday you’ll need me— will I be there? [Outro] Please… see me.
