She Sees It Lyrics by My Boy Arlo

Rain all on the window
She looking at me quiet
Like she can see through everything
I’m trying not to say
And I’m trying to act normal
But she keep looking at my heart
Like she know it’s still worth

She sees it even when I don’t
She feels it when I’m scared to show
She love me like I’m already whole
Like there’s power in my heart that I almost let go
She sees it way down in me
She reaches places I don’t let nobody see
She love me like she know what I’m worth
Like I was gold in the ground before I came out the dirt

I don’t know how she do that
How she make silence talk back
How she hear pain in my breathing and still don’t move back
I’ve been hard on myself
I’ve been heavy in my mind

She touched my face in the rain like baby take your time
She don’t ask me to be perfect
She don’t make me perform
She just sit with the thunder till my spirit get warm

I told her some days I don’t love me
She said I got enough for both
Then looked dead in my eyes like she was making me an oath
That’s when I felt something rise that I thought I had lost

Not the man everybody sees, the one buried under the cost
She said you don’t know your power
I said I don’t know my peace
She said then breathe with me slowly till your heart believe me

And the rain kept falling
But I stopped feeling cold
Cuz she loved me like a secret the world wasn’t supposed to know
Maybe love ain’t loud

Maybe love don’t chase
Maybe love is one person seeing light in your face when all you see is damage
When all you feel is war
Maybe love is somebody saying there’s still more

She sees it even when I don’t
She feels it when I’m scared to show
She love me like I’m already whole
Like there’s power in my heart that I almost let go
She sees it way down in me
She reaches places I don’t let nobody see
She love me like she know what I’m worth
Like I was gold in the ground before I came out the dirt

She sees it
She sees it
Even when I don’t
She sees it

She sees it
Power in my heart
