Suddenly I am so confused
Which way am I supposed to go?
Want to lie so you don't see
There is so much more you don't know.

Slowly I'm unraveling
My mask wearing thin
I am spilling my heart to you
Why am I so scared to win?

This is not a game of make-believe
All of my mistakes are real
Everywhere I turn I find
I am trapped by what I feel.

These close walls are my security
Risks I cannot take
Every time I talk to you
They threaten to break

I hardly recognize the face
Staring from my reflection
Mirroring a complete stranger
Who desires perfection.

Seconds slowly fall away
Like sand through an unending sieve
My heart's telling me to stay
Despite the fact I should leave.

Where can I run to?
Is there anyone I can trust?
When shadows are dancing
With wind and dust.

I am going to take a risk
Though it may seem strange
I know this is right for once
I am going to listen to my heart for a change.
