Tougher Than I Seem

I'm tougher than I seem
You wouldn't know it just to look at me
But I've seen a world you have never seen
And I'm tougher than I seem

I've earned my pride
Filling the well that's fed me from inside
For every time my dream has been denied
I've earned my pride

And when you see me cryin'
It's just my vision comin' clean
And when you see me smilin'
I'm smilin'
Cause I'm seein' a vision
Like the world has never seen

So make no mistake
Though it's a road some may never take
Down it I go clear-eyed and awake
Make no mistake

I hold a space for you
You might not breath easy here
You might not like the view
But while I'm dreamin' 
Of all that could be true
I hold a space in my heart for you

And when you see me cryin'
It's just my vision comin' clean
And when you see me smilin'
I'm smilin'
Cause I'm seein' a vision
Like the world has never seen

I'm tougher than I seem
You wouldn't know it  just to look at me
But I've seen a world you have never seen
And I'm tougher than I seem
