When Everyone And No One's Watching

When you look in my eyes and tell me I'm beautiful.
Will you do the same in front of your friends at all costs?

Will I still be the one you want when the world is watching?
Will you still hold me when your ex's parents walk in?

Tell me I'm in all your dreams,
Tell me I'm the reason you breathe.

Will you do it in front of everyone and when there's no one?

I think about it too often.
But will I be the one when everyone and no one is watching?

Will I still be your prize when I'm close to fifty nine?
Will you tell your friends that I'm your life?

Will I be enough for you, with the blinds closed and in front of judging eyes?
In front of strangers, will you say that you never need to see the northern lights because you are holding the sight?

Will I be enough for you when everyone and no one is watching?

When your hurt, will you call on my name on the edge of time?
Will you do the same when your family stay the night?

Will I be enough for you when everyone and no one is watching?
