Why are you looking at me,
Let me hide behind all the people
So you can't see.
Why are you looking at me,
Too many eyes, hands and heads
Let me out of here, let me be free.
Why are you looking at me,
If I keep my head bowed and hat pulled over I am a mystery.
Why are you looking at me,
More make up , another layer is needed
Today, which face will it be.
Why are you looking at me,
I focus on my mobile and my thumbs move over the screen.
Why are you looking at me ,
The face in the mirror
Just keeps looking back...
