Vulnerability is scary I guess that's why I'm always wary In the palm of another's hand I solemnly stand Vulnerability is scary Someone I know barely They could bury me In debris I'm flesh and bones Their words could be stones The way you shake when you're crying Or when you blink when you're lying Because inside you know you're dying When I tell you how I feel I may begin to heal This is so unreal- Yet I still fear that you will squeal What I tried so hard to conceal Vulnerability is scary I would like to say contrary, I feel like a freed canary How very wrong I've made another prison With bars made of vulnerability My secrets have become a liability For I foolishly trust You will not run When we are done Vulnerability is so scary

Vulnerability is scary
Vulnerability is scary I guess that's why I'm always wary In the palm of another's hand I solemnly stand Vulnerability is scary Someone I know barely They could bury me In debris I'm flesh and bones Their words could be stones The way you shake when you're crying Or when you blink when you're lying Because inside you know you're dying When I tell you how I feel I may begin to heal This is so unreal- Yet I still fear that you will squeal What I tried so hard to conceal Vulnerability is scary I would like to say contrary, I feel like a freed canary How very wrong I've made another prison With bars made of vulnerability My secrets have become a liability For I foolishly trust You will not run When we are done Vulnerability is so scary
