Lyrics
You see me smile
You say I?m strong
Like a queen with her king
You don?t see how anything
Could make our love go wrong
How could you see
How could you know
There?s a secret that I keep
There?s another side of me
A side I?m scared to show
Sometimes I fall
The road gets rocky and I stumble, I stall
Sometimes I cry
I feel bruised and battered, and tears will burn my eyes
Would you help me see, stand by me, faithfully, through it all
Cause sometimes, sometimes ...
This made up face
These pretty clothes
I wear them everyday
They keep me feeling safe
Like armor from my head to my toes
Take them away
Tell me you?ll stay
Take me by the hand
Say you understand
You?ll be the hero today
Sometimes I fall
The road gets rocky and I stumble, I stall
Sometimes I cry
I feel bruised and battered, and tears will burn my eyes
Would you help me see, stand by me, faithfully, through it all
Cause sometimes, sometimes ...
