What Do You See?

I’m so painfully hollow
I’m not sure that I’m a real person

I’m very fond of you
And it seems you’re fond of me too
But you shouldn’t be
What do you see in me?

I feel nervous because you’ll soon find
There’s nothing beneath the surface
I don’t know myself
Neither does anyone else

You see someone you think is funny
But I see someone who tries too hard
You see someone you find alluring
But I only see his many flaws
Every time I look into the mirror
Every time I look into the mirror

What does anyone see in me
I’ve never been able to see
Because I’ve always hated everything about myself
And so should everyone else
You say I’m too hard on myself but
I think you should stop pretending

And tell me that you hate me baby
Oh tell me that you hate me baby
You’re far too kind
And I can’t get you out of my mind
I just can’t fathom why someone like you
Would want me to stick around
Why do you want me around?

Do you see something good in me?
Tell me what you see
And maybe for once I’ll think more highly of myself

But I can’t promise
I think you’re perfect as you are
I can't say the same for myself
And I’m not sure if I can trust you yet

So won’t you tell me you love me baby
Tell me you love me baby
Would you be so kind
To keep me in mind
Because I want you baby baby
More than anything
More than anything
