How close can I get without being hurt Should I be open-hearted or cautious Giving myself to others or hiding behind my mask Never knowing my limits, but I don’t know yours either Pain or safe, oh which to choose Will you hold my hand, even when I’m wrong Or push me away Don’t wanna feel shame next to you I hate myself already Looking for love in other hearts Maybe there’s some left for me Unconditional and forgiving Here I am naked and honest Not living or denying anymore Your choice is upon you I’m not gonna beg or pretend Tired of being someone else Time to look for myself Time to find my consciousness
