The Cover Lyrics

You probably think that you got me read
But you don't even know the half of it
Your eyes can't go where my head has been
You probably can't tell
I ain't wearing it

No it ain't pretty
But imma tell you the truth
My daddy fought with depression
And then I battled it too
I ran away at age seventeen and packed his.22
Knew what I wanted to do
But didn't follow through

You don't see the flames
That I fought
On the other page
You don't see the
Pain cause it's not
Written on my face
You can't see the change
Judging on a look
You ain't read the book
No
You only see the cover

Not the stories written under

You didn't see the
Poppin pills to kill my appetite
Staying high to get me down a size
Getting skinny almost got my life
But I made it to the other side

Still under construction
But man, I'm proud of myself
You see smiling today because
God got me through hell
I found a way to turn all my hurt
To healing for someone else
And that's who you're meeting today

You don't see the flames
That I fought
On the other page
You don't see the
Pain cause it's not
Written on my face
You can't see the change
Judging on a look
You ain't read the book
No
You only see the cover
Not the stories written under

I'm grateful for the burns
I'm proud of the scars
It took all that to learn
To trust in the dark
And if you're gonna know me
There ain't just one part
There's more to the story
Of what built this heart

You don't see the flames
You don't see the pain
You only see the things
That you wanna see
Gotta read the rest
Of the story

You don't see the flames
That I fought
On the other page
You don't see the
Pain cause it's not
Written on my face
You can't see the change
Judging on a look
You ain't read the book
No
You only see the cover
