I live my life in fear of being hurt.

No you can't tell, but it covers me like a shirt.

And when you try to get close, you can't understand why

I can't let go of the ways you could make me cry.

That's usually my M.O. for cutting things off

But I'd hate to do that now without more thought

I just don't want to...because with you, I feel like me

The real me...the one I don't get the chance to be...fully.

So, what the hell am I supposed to do with that?

My mind is reeling and I can't keep it on track

I want to trust in you from the depths of my core

It hurts to know how I want you more and more

But I can never tell you that because I don't want to look insane

I don't want to scare you and make you bolt like a speed train

I wish there was just 1 person I could open up fully to

To tell them my deepest thoughts, desires...boy, I wish that were you.

But only I can really understand the craziness that goes on inside me

Because as strange as it sounds, I'm the only person I trust not to flee.
