"The Universe Inside" lyrics

[BETTY:]
Have you ever caught a glimpse of your reflection in the mirror
And wondered if the person that you saw was even you?
Everyone applauding, it's a perfect presentation
Nobody would ever have a clue

[VERONICA:]
They look at me and figure she's a girl who's got it easy
I cruise through life and Daddy feeds me with a silver spoon
But if they caught a glimpse of all my doubts and hesitations
Tell me, would they sing a different tune?

[BETTY AND VERONICA:]
There's a universe inside
That no one else can see
A world inside
Where I'm alone with me

You can spend a lifetime looking deep in someone's eyes
And never see the universe inside

[VERONICA:]
I'm scared to show what's underneath. I cover it with makeup
It's dark and petty, but I know I need to be the best
And all they ever see is only part of the equation
Don't they realize I'm so much more?

[BETTY AND VERONICA:]
If only I could find a way
To show them all so they would say
How we want to see the real you shining
Then I would never have to be
Afraid of nightmares or my dreams
So if you want me, you know where to find me

There's a universe inside
You must have one, too
A world inside
No one ever knew

I wish I noticed, but I never took the time
To look beyond the surface
And finally see the universe inside
Inside

I hope that someday someone looks into my eyes
And finally sees the universe inside
