If You See Me lyrics

[NOVA]
I lie awake
I think of you and how you make me feel so happy
But I know that half the magic would be gone if you saw the real me

I've never had
Anything like this before and honestly I'm terrified that everything would change if you could see me
Without the barrier between

I have reason to believe
That if you see me you'll stop seeing me in the way I want you to
Things are safer from a distance when you're trying something new
And I know for sure that you have lots of better things to do
Than get to know me

It's better with a wall dividing us so we don't have to see the worst parts of each other
You'll never have to see the parts of me that I don't want to uncover

I have reason to believe

That if you see me you'll stop seeing me in the way I want you to
Things are safer from a distance when you're trying something new
And I know for sure that you have lots of better things to do
Than get to know me

I can't disappoint you if you never see my face
I just wanted to warn you that it's probably a waste
I have reason to believe
That you won't like what you see

If you see me you'll stop seeing me in the way I want you to
Things are safer from a distance when you're trying something new
And I know for sure that you have lots of better things to do
Than get to know me

Ah
Ooh ooh
