Lyrics

She Sees Me
Yves Stilmant © 2025

Verse 1A
I crossed the sea with a fire in my chest,
Chasing songs, chasing ghosts, leaving all the rest.
Had a deal go south, lost more than I could say,
Spent years rebuilding what life took away.
Verse 1B
There were nights I was just a shadow in the dark,
Dreams in pieces, nothing left but heart.
But then she came along, soft as morning light,
And somehow made the broken things feel right.
Pre-Chorus
And when the world don't understand,
She takes my heart in her small hands...
Chorus
She sees me
Like I've never been broken
Like every word I've left unspoken
Still means something
She sees me
Not the man I used to be
But the one she needs
Yeah, she sees me
Verse 2A
I missed the call when my father slipped away,
And my mama died while I was oceans away.
No final words, no holding hands that night,
Just silence on the line and tears I couldn't fight.
Verse 2B
That guilt, it haunts the corners of my soul,
The kind of pain that never quite lets go.
But she brings back grace in a glance so pure,
And makes me feel like I'm something more.
Pre-Chorus
She don't know the weight I bear,
But somehow still she finds me there...
Chorus
She sees me
Like I've never been broken
Like every word I've left unspoken
Still means something
She sees me
Not the man I used to be
But the one she needs
Yeah, she sees me
Verse 3A
She hums the songs I thought no one knew,
The ones I wrote when I was coming unglued.
She dances in the kitchen with my old guitar,
And heals the hurt with every little scar.
Verse 3B
If I leave this world with nothing but her smile,
Then all the miles behind me were worth the while.
She's the chorus I never thought I'd write,
The proof that I got something right.

Pre-ChorusShe's the part I got to save,
The reason I still misbehave.
Chorus (x2)
She sees me
Like I've never been broken
Like every word I've left unspoken
Still means something
She sees me
Not the man I used to be
But the one she needs
Yeah, she sees me

Outro (repeat last line)
Yeah, she sees me...
