Here I am again Sitting at work on the bathroom floor Wiping black tears from my face This has happened before All because of a story about Someone else’s good day I don’t want to get into details Because when I think about it I can’t stop Let’s just say the movies Don’t prepare you to be Constantly pushed around Until you confuse love for Sleepless nights and grayness I’m my own worst enemy I can talk myself out of almost anything Who would love a girl who’s afraid to feel? It just seems like I get punished Every time I give up Anything beneath the surface I don’t want to give anyone a chance To be unimpressed I dream of my pain being Endearing And for someone to sweep me off my feet Like in a movie I didn’t think that it could ever happen And then despite my wrongs You knew just what to say For me to want to open the door to my cave Because I don't want to be my own enemy I want to take chances without even thinking I want to love and to feel everything To share what's beneath the surface and To have it be worth it I won't be scared of someone being unimpressed Because you are impressed I'll do my best To keep my head Out of the way of What's coming next

Out There
Here I am again Sitting at work on the bathroom floor Wiping black tears from my face This has happened before All because of a story about Someone else’s good day I don’t want to get into details Because when I think about it I can’t stop Let’s just say the movies Don’t prepare you to be Constantly pushed around Until you confuse love for Sleepless nights and grayness I’m my own worst enemy I can talk myself out of almost anything Who would love a girl who’s afraid to feel? It just seems like I get punished Every time I give up Anything beneath the surface I don’t want to give anyone a chance To be unimpressed I dream of my pain being Endearing And for someone to sweep me off my feet Like in a movie I didn’t think that it could ever happen And then despite my wrongs You knew just what to say For me to want to open the door to my cave Because I don't want to be my own enemy I want to take chances without even thinking I want to love and to feel everything To share what's beneath the surface and To have it be worth it I won't be scared of someone being unimpressed Because you are impressed I'll do my best To keep my head Out of the way of What's coming next
