They Don’t see, What I See [50s Rock-N-Roll]

[Intro] Sometimes people protect what they love so much… That they become afraid of anyone who gets close. But they don’t know what I know… They don’t see what I see. * [Verse 1] They see the beauty standing right in front of me, A perfect flower growing wild and free. They worry that my hands are not the ones, That I’ll bring clouds where there should be sun. They don’t know the nights we talked for hours, The little moments that became our flowers. They don’t hear the laughter behind closed doors, They don’t know the person that I adore. They see a girl they need to defend, I see my heart finding a friend. They see something too precious to touch, I see someone I love so much. * [Pre-Chorus] Maybe they don’t understand The way your smile changes my day. Maybe they can’t feel the magic That words could never explain. * [Chorus] Why can’t they see you The way I see you? You’re not just a rose That needs someone to save you. You’re the colors in my sky, The reason I still dream at night. You’re the answer I was searching for When I thought love passed me by. They think I’m here to hurt you, But I’m here to help you shine. They think I’ll take your petals, But I’d protect them with my life. If they could see the world The way I see through your eyes… They’d finally understand Why I fell in love this time. * [Post-Chorus] Oh-oh-oh… You’re more than they know… Oh-oh-oh… You’re the place my heart calls home. * [Verse 2] I know I have my imperfections, I know I still have things to prove. But every day I wake up wanting To become better for you. I don’t want to lock away your freedom, I don’t want to dim your light. I just want to walk beside you Through every wrong and right. They think love is a warning sign, Something that could leave a scar. But they don’t know the way you healed me, They don’t know how special you are. * [Bridge] Maybe someday… They’ll stop looking for a reason to fear. Maybe someday… They’ll see the happiness That brought us here. A rose doesn’t lose its beauty When someone cares enough to stay. A heart doesn’t become weaker When it’s loved the right way. * [Chorus] Why can’t they see you The way I see you? You’re the dream I never knew I was waiting to come true. You’re the sunrise after darkness, The melody inside my soul. The one who makes this broken world Feel a little less cold. They thought I was the danger, But I was only trying to show… That loving you means respecting The beauty you already own. And if they look through my eyes… They’ll finally know… You were never just a rose… You were the whole garden That taught my heart to grow. * [Outro] Maybe they don’t see it… Maybe they never will… But I know… I found something beautiful… And I’ll spend my life Showing them why. They don’t see what I see.
