A Story Behind these Eyes

[_chimene_]

I am staring at you
I am wondering why
You see me the way
That you do

Is it based on these views
You've accepted so easily
That tells you I'm different than you

It tells you to lead,
If she shows emotions, retreat
- Always be on top and act strong.
Treat her differently
Open the door for the weak
- Just pretend to appreciate her song...

Do you hear me?
Are these words reaching you?
I see-
You laugh, you react
You retreat, you come back
But all the while,
You still don't understand.

Behind these eyes,
There's another story.
A story other than yours of
Another one's life.
And there are thoughts
- Yes there are thoughts, boy
Not just emotions and tears
And/or weakness and fear

It really depends
On how you want to connect
How open minded do you think you really are?
Would you allow me to lead,
Show me your heart -- not retreat
Behind these views that you were told to possess?

Could you believe that I'm strong
That I could carry us along
To a place unlike you've ever known
Where we're all free to be
Whoever we choose to be
And then, darling, you'll start to see
Then you will start to see me
