This is a song I wrote in May of 2009. It's about judging someone based on their looks before you get to know them. Appearance is not always what it seems to be. You won't know who someone really is until you experience how they treat you and others. Just be cautious before you dive in deep so you don't get hurt in the end because things can be different than you wish or thought they were.

One of my best friends, Emily, requested this and said she was forcing me to sing this for her, haha. So here it is :)

Lyrics:

When I told you, I didn't need you

That's when, I needed you the most

But you weren't there

So I'll just cry myself to sleep

Just shaking and in pain, cause I'm so weak

And I tried to tell you,

But you didn't listen

So now with tears in my eyes, as I lay here in bed

Now I know, that the book is different than the cover I read

Don't judge a book by the cover, otherwise you might go under

You don't know what you're getting into, oh-oh-oh

Don't judge a book by the cover, otherwise you might discover

That everything is different than you expected

So listen to what your heart says

The inside was different than the outsides truth,

It keeps changing, so what's the excuse

It should stay the same

Depressed and broken, everything's gray

Speechless without anything to say

How could you do this to me

And now with tears in my eyes, as I lay here in bed

Now I know, that the book is different than the cover I read

Don't judge a book by the cover, otherwise you might go under

You don't know what you're getting into, oh-oh-oh

Don't judge a book by the cover, otherwise you might discover

That everything is different than you expected

So listen to what your heart says

Yeah, dig a little deeper, see what message they convey

Yeah, find yourself a keeper, before you let them take you away

Yeah there's so many different covers, so many books upon the shelf

But the only thing that matters, is the story that it tells baby

Now I wipe the tears from eyes, and find someone new instead

There's no point in looking back on a cover I once read, baby

Don't judge a book by the cover, otherwise you might go under

You don't know what you're getting into, oh-oh-oh

Don't judge a book by the cover, otherwise you might discover

That everything is different than you expected

So listen to what your heart says
