What's important to me is that you open your eyes
Eyes wide open just long enough to see
See what I've been shouting and sending out
Out of this heart that wrestles with doubt
Doubt that you'll ever know or ever understand
Understand what's important...I don't think you ever can
Can you hear the pain in my voice and the love I always gave
Gave it up willingly, unselfishly like the freedom given up by a slave
Enslaved to the ideas and the hopes you feel as I do
Do you even know if I am at all important to you?
You show me a side that I've tried not to know
Know how little you see me and don't care if I come or if I go
Go? Where can I run too? When all that's important to me is here
Here where I am trapped, ensnared and grappling with fear
Fear that I'll have to accept and fully embrace and realize
Realize that what's important to me, you'll never see with your eyes
