i know you're older than...
your face suggests
and i know you're so much more
than they give you credit for
no matter what you do
they're not impressed
no matter what you give
they're always back for more...

tried and tried...
to be seen
but no one saw you
cried and cried...
when the one you love ignored you
why oh why...
doesn't anyone adore you
i know you really wanted to believe
but you were always so naive

too scared to leave your house without makeup on
too scared to realise that you could be wrong
too blind to see the things that everyone sees
too young to be the things you're dying to be

tried and tried...
to be seen
but no one saw you
cried and cried...
when the one you love ignored you
why oh why...
doesn't anyone adore you
i know you really wanted to believe
but you were always so naive
