Everyone Sees Me as If I'm lyrics

They look at me as if I'm a monster to fear My hopes turn to dread Just grant me a moment's peace I long to simply be myself No one truly perceives The soul residing within me From the moment you entered my world You showed me what true devotion means I recall your rescue every evening Like a spirit sent from the heavens Only your radiance fills my vision I hope you see the person within Will your genuine affection set me free? My existence feels so unjust I'm still lost in sorrow Just when I believed that fate Had granted my every wish After I released you And watched you depart I wanted you to understand How deeply I care for you, oh Indeed, my life is harsh (yeah) The only woman I adore left me unprepared (unprepared) I observe my own blossoms scattering, one by one And bit by bit No tranquility resides in my spirit But that tear I cannot bear, I cannot claim I can endure As I absorb all this torment from my rival Filled with nothing but malice (yeah) I suppose this is where I'll perish in the downpour If I saw you once more, I could alter my destiny I confess, I desire to be with you always I yearn for the way you illuminate me so brightly Your glow brings me warmth I was unsure where to turn I thought everything was lost During my struggle All was shrouded in gloom When I lost my way Until you arrived, simply calling My name in the storm You prevented my fall, but before then My life was so cruel Until I encountered you, Belle When you simply touched my heart You awakened me from this enchantment As long as I am with you now I feel my authentic self A story from long ago...
