Name: All I'm Seeing Now
Duration: P00H04M04S
Description: This song was inspired by the woman I was seeing at the time. We were sitting outside and she was talking about her past. Tears were welling up in her eyes, and it's at that time, if you look hard enough, you can see right into their soul, and hers was beautiful. That, combined with other conversations we had previously, led me to write this song about her.

This song was inspired by the woman I was seeing at the time. We were sitting outside and she was talking about her past. Tears were welling up in her eyes, and it's at that time, if you look hard enough, you can see right into their soul, and hers was beautiful. That, combined with other conversations we had previously, led me to write this song about her.

lyrics

She said what do you see in me
that would make you stay right here
if you get famous with those songs that you write
she said you can do better than me
well, that's not what I see
because she wears her soul just right behind her eyes

I see a beautiful girl
who's been wounded by the world
with a heart so broken she tries to hide away
but she just wants to be accepted
to be important somehow
and when I look at her, that's all I'm seeing now

she says , one day you'll leave
that's what I believe
and i just look at her and shake my head
and I ask why would I do that
when you're the only one I know
that when I gave my love to you, you gave it back

bridge:
I see the child inside when I look into her eyes
she's afraid of dying lost and all alone
now I could never leave her
cause i know i'd break her heart
and in her heart, is where I finally found a home
