Vulnerable

We live in a world where we don't say how we're feeling We keep it bottled up, that's all we're ever taught But I wanna open up to you and let you in Is that too much to ask? You sit here on your couch and say nothing But how you doing today? "I'm great, I'm great" But you say that every time And I know you're fucking lying How you doing today? "I'm great", you say again But I see it in your eyes And I know you're not alright (And I know you're not alright) But being vulnerable is not a bad thing But being vulnerable is not a bad thing It's not a bad thing to open up 'Cause being vulnerable is not a bad thing 'Cause being vulnerable is not a bad thing Being vulnerable is not a bad thing It's not a bad thing to open up (It's not a bad thing) (It's not a bad thing) It's not a bad thing to open up (It's not a bad thing) (It's not a bad thing) What a feeling hopeful not hopeless I'm fearless Wasn't always like that I remember the day when I sat down to explain my pain to you And all you did was point the blame to me Ashamed to be so vulnerable Honed in on like a vulture, torn me apart than I lost it all While I rebuilt what I thought was gone for a lifetime, not perfect But I'm perfectly certain that person was hurting Wondered if there's something more about this pain I fall in This is my story Your redemption to every moment I felt opposed to Open if not, gates will let it all out like I flow in this verse Wouldn't give anything that I have to reverse what I've learned There were days that I struggled waking and feeling not worth it Labeled me damaged, but that's who I am and you put in the hurt (It's not a bad thing) (It's not a bad thing) It's not a bad thing to open up It's not a bad thing It's not a bad thing It's not a bad thing It's not a bad thing It's not a bad thing to open up It's not a bad thing It's not a bad thing It's not a bad thing to open up
