I'm sorry that you've seen me at my darkest

Around you I don't feel I'm in control

We still don't have a clue what we should call this

But somethings telling me deep in my soul

You're something out the movie Cinderella

Just waiting for your ticket to the ball

And honestly I don't know how to tell ya

Your prince ain't the most charming of them all

He's a coward

He's nervous

He knows how to run

But still he wears his heart on his sleeve

And that heart

Is a fortress

With 2000 guns

Aiming at whoever's in reach

We got all the time in the world

We got all the time that we need

You wiped the dirt up off my eyes and now I can finally see

The person I am instead of the person I'm trying to be

That's why I been searching I'm tryna be perfect but that is the version that's lying to me

Telling me everybody's out to get me

All of my friends are against me

They just been pushing the air out of my lungs

That's why everytime that I see you I'm venting

It's honestly tempting to get up out of this place and go back

Be with my sisters and brothers my father and mother and finally get to relax but

That isn't possible

That's why I have to get through all these obstacles

That's why i have to listen to my gut, and do what I must, not what is logical

My life is a puzzle and right now it feels like it's truly unsolvable

But I cannot expect you to be the one to pick up the pieces

Here is my thesis

Something is tryna teach us how to grow

So I've opened my mind, there's so many times I find you freezing in the snow, but still I leave you in the cold, I don't know why

I'm such a hypocrite I need to show you I see you as valuable

I love you most cause you keep me accountable

I'll pull you close only if you allow it though cause

I'm a coward

I'm nervous

I know how to run

But still I wear my heart on my sleeve

And that heart is a fortress

With 2000 guns

Aiming at whoever's in reach

You're an angel, a flower, a star in the sky

And I'll be there whenever you need

And I'll tell you I'm sorry, 2000 times

Whatever brings you back here to me
