Verse               I’ve never had a caricature drawn of me

                         Because I’m terrified of what I might see

                        My nose out to there and my crazy hair

                         And eyes as big as the sea

                         Full of nothing but a pathetic plea

Verse               I remember his eyes, they were emerald green

                         The night before my wedding they fixed on me

                        Trying to bridge the space, the gaze was out of place

                         But he told me what I’d always dreamed

                         That he loved me though I’d always felt unseen

Chorus            See me, see me, thinking I will see me in your eyes

                        When all I see is what I am to you

                         And I forget why I looked as if I ever knew

                        See me, see me, thinking I will see me in your eyes

Bridge            You see therefore I am, I am because you see

                        That’s pretty much the shape of my pathology

Verse               I conjure you when you’re not there

                         ‘Cause I feel I might vanish without the stare

                          But to vanish would mean that I’d once been seen

                          And believing that doesn’t have a prayer

                          If the truth is something I can share

Chorus           See me, see me, thinking I will see me in your eyes

                        When all I see is what I am to you

                        And I forget why I looked as if I ever knew

                        See me, see me, thinking I will see me in your eyes

                         In your eyes, in your eyes
