Sasha Sirota - I See You lyrics

[Verse 1] Once upon a time not long ago My grandmother told me one day I'd change I felt like she was comin' down on me So I told her no, I'd be the same Not knowin' she was only tryin' to help Motivate me to excel and climb I was thinking she was the one trapped While I was stuck in a cage of my mind Man if I would've known what I know now I would've brought my head down under the cloud Told her thank you, and that I loved her But I was too cool and too damn proud What a fool I was, in fact I've changed so much now lookin' back I wish somebody I thought was cool Was as cool as she was, when she told me that [Hook] I see you, the real you Tryna' cover up whats inside of you But everything you do is make-believe Yeah you're hot, but you're too cool I see you, oh I see you, oh I see you [Verse 2] Baby girl don't know much about What it would take to become a star Hollywood is so far-fetched Too long of a drive in an old car Work everyday, but you barely eat Goin' over lines from a script you read Your boyfriend said it's a silly dream But how can you dream, when you never sleep You lookin' in the mirror and you're picturin' a light-show A glimpse in the lens of a camera Behind the scenes of life is a tightrope Yeah you walk a thin line, but a thin line is all you need A thin line in an indy movie Just a break for somebody to see The talent inside, the ballad of a diary you write The by and by is just another day for a normal girl But for you it's another day that you tried Aside from the fact, that you ride in the back Of a bus sometimes cause your car won't work Well maybe you should take that bus to L.A And put your dreams first, because... [Hook] [Verse 3] Black and white Everything is black and white, broke-down simple and plain Most of us lost with a curious brain Curiosity is looked at as strange Stuck in a lane, but you can't complain While you look at another pa**in' train Wonderin' how, where's it going? Wishin' you were inside, packed and rollin' To another place but your time is chosen To live low-key cause your dream is stolen They don't understand, they believe in loathin' Loungin', loafin', waitin', hopin' Homie if the gra** is greener, look, the gate is open You waitin' for God to release the ocean Sittin' on the beach, 2 feet from floatin' (But I see you) [Hook]
