Never judge a book by its cover./ Even if it's paper thin./ (paper thin) Don't only read the intro,/ If you don't plan to make it to the end,/ (to the end) The core of the man's story,/ Can only be found from deep within./ (deep within) You've only ever seen my cover,/ Now the real story can begin,/ (Can begin) [VERSE] I mask my emotions,/ Disguised with a smile and laugh,/ But deep down inside,/ There just isn't anything left,/ I've been chewed up, spit out,/ And spit on too many times,/ That I don't even know,/ Who I am half the fucking time,/ I'm told i'm no good, too attached,/ Too emotional, too weak,/ Too soft, I think too much,/ But no one listens when I speak,/ When I cry out for help,/ "Oh he's just reaching for attention",/ Well this will be the last time,/ That you will hear my pain mentioned,/ [CHORUS] Never judge a book by its cover./ Even if it's paper thin./ (paper thin) Don't only read the intro,/ If you don't plan to make it to the end,/ (to the end) The core of the man's story,/ Can only be found from deep within./ (deep within) You've only ever seen my cover,/ Now the real story can begin,/ (Can begin) [VERSE] I once looked down at the pavement,/ With the wind beneath my feet,/ With the voice of of my woman,/ Telling me I can't compete,/ Telling me I'm worthless,/ And I will never be complete,/ Pushing me closer with her words,/ Edging me closer to defeat,/ I have tried and I tried,/ But I can only take so much,/ Even the strongest stone,/ Will crack if abused as such,/ Start to break down under pressure,/ And can't hold up the same weight,/ And even the strongest of men,/ Can suffer a similar fate,/ [CHORUS] Never judge a book by its cover./ Even if it's paper thin./ (paper thin) Don't only read the intro,/ If you don't plan to make it to the end,/ (to the end) The core of the man's story,/ Can only be found from deep within./ (deep within) You've only ever seen my cover,/ Now the real story can begin,/ (Can begin)
