Stronger Than You Look

What's the outside say about you?

First glance assumptions, quick impressions through and through

Cleaned up nice on date night

And trying not to let the insecurity bugs fight and bite

Can we see past the sleek dress, the pressed suit?

Will you let us peer beyond the first pages of your book?

Because darling I am here to tell you

I reckon you're stronger than you look

Yeah I don't know you really and nor you me

But we've all had a rough day or two or even three

And see us both, still standing no worse for wear!

We'll just ignore the lingering scars, for mine hideunderneath my hair

These battle wounds scabbed and healed over

Testimony to getting up once more and again

Yours are even more invisible

You hide them underneath your glowing ghost of a grin

You haven't let the pain devour your soul

This world hasn't extracted it's costly toll, your optimism remains unshook

If you'll allow me, if you'll believe me

I can show you why you're stronger than you look
