When you’re covered in a veil that makes you invisible, because your world is closing in - I See You

        Dm                             G                         Dm                           G
In your thoughts you are not worthy of truly being loved, so you hide under the cover of perfection

  G                                       F                  C
I See You when you’re all alone, a simple greeting worth a notice
  Am                                   C
I See You in the rhymes of poets, they tell me of your worth
  G                             F                    C
