Maddy Hicks - Don't Look At Me

Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/1988627
Verse 1
Is this lipstick gonna make you think of my mouth
And not listen to any of the words coming out?
If I zip this jacket up and play myself down
Am I human now?
There was more back and forth on the internet
Now I tell a story, wait for you to interject
I know you think that you can skip some steps, pay the check
Maybe I'll end up in your bed

Chorus
But I want you to see me
Don't look at me, see me
Don't look at me, see me
Don't look at me
I want you to see me
Don't look at me, see me
Don't look at me, see me
Don't look at me

Verse 2
Ask a question like you don't think I could understand
Would you say it to me like that if I was a man?
Putting ten thousand hours into this song and dance
You see half of who I am
No, I don't wanna have sex but I don't wanna makе less
I don't wanna have to scream "no" for you to not hеar "yes"
You're taught to be fearless, I'm taught to fear death
Can you hear that?

Chorus
Can you just see me?
Don't look at me, see me
Don't look at me, see me
Don't look at me
Just see me
Don't look at me, see me
I want you to see me
Don't look at me

Bridge
See me (Why's it so damn hard to)
See me (It could change if you started to)
See me
Don't look at me
See me (Quit feeling in the dark, just)
See me (I see who you are, so)
See me
Don't look at me

Outro
See me
Don't look at me, see me
Don't look at me, see me
Don't look at me
