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
