Not What I Seem

When you look my way what do you see
A painted canvas of me
Or an upside down beauty in black and white
The kind of girl you'd like to find prowling your streets tonight

I am not what I seem
And I'm not as lovely as you'd like me to be

I don't want to live forever, it's not a price I'll pay
To stand and be admired while my life slips away
Like Ophelia in the water you'll
stand and gaze upon her while she drowns
And then comment on her beauty as
if it was her duty to please your eye
And make you feel something inside

I am not what I seem
And I'm not as lovely as you'd like me to be

Always running in circles, right back to the past
Desperate, determined the next love will last
And wondering why, as time passes by
I still can't find words for the thoughts on my mind

I am not what I seem
And I'm not as lovely as you'd like me to be

I am not what I seem
And I'm not as lovely as you'd like me to be
