I opened the door and let you in
Vulnerabilities and everything
Chipped and scarred, here I am
Fragile and alone, here I am.
Not quite the image you expected
Unlike the picture you perfected
Compared to your mind, I fall behind.
My heart burst with reality and passion,
Showing my feelings is like a chemical reaction
In shock and horror you deflect,
Leaving me saturated with regret.
Demanding what you think of me
Without the facades, now you see.
Chipped and scarred, here I am
Fragile and alone, here I am
Requesting the person you thought you knew,
Leaving my heart black and blue.
I shade myself with dishonesty
Will this make you love me?
Now my throat is dry
What once was said was left behind,
Walking hand in hand, I'm glad you're mine
Staring at our fingers intertwined.
Fake yet loved, here I stand.
Disappearing with who I really am.
