Being me

I knew from the start,

it was a little too good to be true,

but I couldnt help but feel,

all these good vibes from you,

You made me feel so good inside,

but I was hiding something too,

and I just cant help but think,

I was a little too honest, too soon.

 

'Cause maybe, if I would've waited,

you would have thought that I was worth it,

or maybe, if I had waited,

you'd understand that nobody's perfect,

but maybe if I waited, I would have let it go too far,

I guess I'll be alone forever, but I'm wishin' on that star,

 

I don't know what I expected,

probably a little heart,

but I just thought it'd be easier

to be honest from the start,

I wish I knew what you were thinkin',

can't seem to let it go,

if you're quick to leave, so might be everybody,

so for now I'll be alone,

 

and maybe, if I would've waited,

you'd have seen me in a different light,

or maybe, if I had waited,

I would know how to make this right,

but maybe, if I had waited, I might not have said anything at all,

and you'd, be stuck confused, with why I had to stall,

 

I thought just maybe,

you could see past my flaws,

look at whats underneath my skin,

and know that just because,

I might not be perfect

I'm still pretty good too,

and I know even more that,

I'd be really good with you.

 

But I'm glad I hadn't waited,

to share this part of me,

and now I know that you won't budge,

no matter how great I may be,

I realize now I don't need you,

nor really anybody,

I'm fine with being alone for now,

because I'm okay with being me.
