Shelter

I can never get this muck from round my eyes
 Dunno why I bother sometimes
 Painting my face up, for the kill
 A little bit of glitter goes a long, long way
 But if you never see my face
 How will you know if you feel is real
 I've been trying to be something, I'll never be
 But I'm nothing special, there's no mystery
 I've been hiding from the world, and from myself
 Wanting love so desperately, oh so desperately
 If you see all the hurt in my eyes
 Will you laugh, will you run, will you carry me
 If I tell you that I'm weak and I'm scared
 Will that seem absurd
 I'm the loneliest girl in the world
 I can never let you see the girl inside
 Won't let my defences slide
 I can't let you see my tears
 A little bit of fire drives the boys away
 But maybe I might let you stay
 If you show me that your love is real
 I've been trying to be something, I'll never be
 But I'm nothing special, there's no mystery
 I've been hiding from the world, and from myself
 Wanting love so desperately, oh so desperately
 If you see all the hurt in my eyes
 Will you laugh, will you run, will you carry me
 If I tell you that I'm weak and I'm scared
 Will that seem absurd
 I'm the loneliest girl in the world
