If You See Me - Averno

I lie awake

I think of you and how you make me feel so happy

But I know that half the magic would be gone if you saw the real me

I’ve never had

Anything like this before and honestly I’m terrified that everything would

change if you could see me

Without the barrier between

I have reason to believe

That if you see me you’ll stop seeing me in the way I want you to

Things are safer from a distance when you’re trying something new

And I know for sure that you have lots of better things to do

Than get to know me

It’s better with a wall dividing us so we don’t have to see the worst parts of

each other

You’ll never have to see the parts of me that I don’t want to uncover

I have reason to believe

That if you see me you’ll stop seeing me in the way I want you to

Things are safer from a distance when you’re trying something new

And I know for sure that you have lots of better things to do

Than get to know me

I can’t disappoint you if you never see my face

I just wanted to warn you that it’s probably a waste

I have reason to believe

That you won’t like what you see

If you see me you’ll stop seeing me in the way I want you to

Things are safer from a distance when you’re trying something new

And I know for sure that you have lots of better things to do

Than get to know me

Ah

Ooh ooh
