We try transparency

Which leads to misunderstanding

The harsh reality is shown

whenever my flaws feel provoked

Defensive mechanisms say I gotta be alone and I can’t be exposed

So I’ll cover up your eyes cuz I don’t want you to see me this way

I’m burning away this side

of me that I’ve chose to hide

Swore I’d never see

this glass half empty again

And somehow along the way

I swear you’ll get all of me I’ll give it away

Every color and shade

in due time

And though I try to keep

you safe from pain that emits from me

you always find a way to see right through me and don’t hesitate to reinstate you want the real me cause what you truly need is transparency

and I should never ever

feel the need to

cover up your eyes cause I don’t want you to see me this way

I’m burning away this side

of me that I’ve chose to hide

Swore I’d never see

this glass half empty again

And somehow along the way

I swear you’ll get all of me I’ll give it away

Every color and shade

in due time

Cause it’s you

who tells me to move when my feet touch fire and the flames are engulfing me

I’m burning away this side

of me that I’ve chose to hide

Swore I’d never see

this glass half empty again

And somehow along the way

I swear you’ll get all of me I’ll give it away

Every color and shade

in due time
