I have to stand you up,
I can’t go on this date with you tonight,
You’ve opened up a wound,
And taken blissful safety from my sight.

I have to stand you up,
I’m an insecure and vulnerable soul,
You’ve made me face myself,
The mirror shows an empty, darkened soul.

I have to stand you up,
I won’t allow this parade to go on,
My secrets need to hide,
I have to stand you up, I must be gone.
