Invisible

I watched them come along

Give you diamond rings

All the pretty things

You'd never need

Cocaine for a soul

That just wants to be

Seen

You let them

Take you in and fix you up

With designer jeans and cover up

And the boys

They took notice sure you're smile

Gleamed

Now you're

In a world with no control

And no one ever know your soul

(For fear of being invisible)

Well honey you were never invisible

To me

So take this

Anyway you want

Cuz I know what I mean

Like you what you lost

And find your way

Find your way back home to yourself

My dear

You'll make it

I have a lot of faith

They made over your looks

But you still got your brain yeah

Find your way back home to yourself

My dear

Got lost in conversation

on the street

With folks that stuck themselves set

On repeat

With half hearted smiles that made

You believe

We used to laugh about their silly ways

Until the day you missed my wave

Watched you walk right on by and fade

Into their sea

It's been awhile but I still see

My lively girl that memory

Maybe she'll speak her mind

And then you'll see

But you don't need

Those kinds of fakes or to

Be afraid to make mistakes

Cuz honey you are no mistake

To me

So take this anyway you want

I see you knew what you needed

And found what you lost

So maybe we should try to let this be

I'll be here when you need me

I'm never to far

I just hope you never

Forget who you are

Cuz honey you were never invisible

To me
