see me

I've never been confident

Never wanted to take my shirt off in front of girls

And it's probably

Something that I have learnt

Need to come to terms and be honest with

But I'm too scared of what people might say

I'm afraid

Of everyone judging me

Once they observe what I preserve

And stop loving me

'Cos that shit hurts, I did it first

And it's cutting me

Deeper than a knife ever could

I'm no good

Give me strength

I've cried too many times here in the quiet

In my bed

I hate myself, but I do it in private

I'm so scared

I just can't have you anywhere near me

'Cos what if you see me the way that I see me?

I think I owe an apology

To the kid I was when I was young

'Cos I promised him

That I'll figure all this out by the time that he'd gotten here

But that was a lie, and I am still ashamed

'Cos I'm to blame

Ooh-ooh

The war that I'm fighting is fought by a person I can't see

And lately, I'm hiding all 'cos of me

Give me strength

I've cried too many times here in the quiet

In my bed

I hate myself, but I do it in private

I'm so scared

I just can't have you anywhere near me

'Cos what if you see me the way that I see me?

Lost my head

I'm not too proud of the way that I'm hiding

Eyes are red

Been months since I caught myself smiling

I'm so scared

I just can't have you anywhere near me

'Cos what if you see me the way that I see me?

Give me strength

I've cried too many times here in the quiet

In my bed

I hate myself, but I do it in private

I'm so scared

I just can't have you anywhere near me

'Cos what if you see me the way that I see me?
