it's alright

it's alright when you can just imagine

there's no face, she's not real

and you can tell yourself it's all okay



but she's here

and my heart cries this isn't happening

but the truth is cold and real

and I know this storm won't go away



now that I've seen her

there's no way to hide

she is not some fling

from long ago

now that I've seen her

I know why he lied

and I think it was better when I didn't know



in her eyes, in her voice

in the heat that filled the air

part of him still lingers there

I know what pain her life today must be

but if it all comes down to her or me

I don't care, I swear, I'll fight



now that I've seen her

she's more than a name

I don't hate this girl even so

now that I've seen her

I can't stay the same

who's this man that I always trusted?

now I have to know
