What Do You See

Baby, please tell me, why are you with me?
I cannot see anything through this insecurity
Baby, please tell me, tell me why you're here
I cannot see your reasons through this blinding fog of fear
I'd like to think that, somehow, I am worth it
I want to think that, somehow, I deserve it

I must have done something right
Because you're here by my side
And you're not running away
You stay with me every day
I don't know what I could have done
To keep you here instead of on the run
But I hope that I'll one day see
Whatever you see in me

Whenever I open my mouth, the words don't come out right
They get misinterpreted and then they end up starting a fight
I try to make things better, but they never turn out that way
I only make things worse with every single word I say
So I learned to keep my mouth shut tight
It's the only thing that I can do right

I don't know what I would do
If I had to live my life without you
I don't think that I could survive
Without you by my side
Now that you're here, I don't think I can let go
I don't think I could make it solo
Every night, when I close my eyes to sleep
I hope that when I wake, you'll still be with me

I was alone for so long
And I did everything wrong
But still, there's something you see
That brought you here to me

Baby, please tell me, what do you see in me?
I try to figure it out, but it's still a mystery
Baby, please tell me, do I deserve your love?
Your arms hold me so tight, utopia in every hug
You wipe away the tears that roll down my face
You give me sanctuary in every embrace

I feel your arms hold me close
And you tell me that you won't let me go
But no matter how hard I have tried
I can't see what you see inside
And so I cannot allay the fear
That one day, you will not be here
So please, baby, help me to see
Just what you see in me

What do you see in me?
It's still a mystery
I don't know what it could be
What do you see in me?
