I never imagined I wouldn't have to change
But here I am and here I stand
Being myself with you.

I never thought I'd get to share the parts I hate
Of myself, but well, they seem
So much less taboo.

I never knew that I was accepted before I said a word
I'm off kilter without my filter
Yet it doesn't exist with you.

I never guessed I'd be vulnerable with someone
But I'm in deep, with you I sleep
And never wake up spooked.

I never fathomed I'd let someone in
But down come my walls, rubble and all
And I'm still panic-free.

I never knew and I never believed
But if it's with you, then that's amazing too
And this exactly where I've needed to be.
