When You Look At Me

Lyrics

I’ve left a lot behind, people, places, and my heart sometimes
But you wouldn’t know it
I’m looking for a future, trying to find my footing on a brand new path
But I don’t always show it
Sitting at the movies or walking through the grocery store
You can’t see the soldier that I was before

When you look at me
There’s a whole lot that you don’t see
I’m walking round in memories you don’t know nothing about
Sometimes I’m not ok, and I need that to be ok
Know that I’m finding my own way
When you look at me

I found someone who’s been where I’ve been and I know they always have my back
But sometimes that’s a double-edged sword
Cause now and then when I see that look in their eyes, it’s one I recognize
And I know exactly what it’s for
I’ve held a lotta hands as a soldier said goodbye
And I’ve had to be the one to look their family in the eye…so

When you look at me
There’s a whole lot that you don’t see
I’m walking round in memories you don’t know nothing about
Sometimes I’m not ok, and I need that to be ok
Know that I’m finding my own way
When you look at me

I might catch a scent, see a face, or hear a song on the radio
And sometimes it still takes where I don’t wanna go

When you look at me
There’s a whole lot that you don’t see
I’m walking round in memories you don’t know nothing about
Sometimes I’m not ok, but I know that that’s ok
Cause I’m finding my own way
When you look at me
And I’m proud of what you see
When you look at me
