In a nutshell, that's me

What I can remember
is a lot like water
trickling down a page of the most beautiful colors
I can't quite put my finger down
on the moment that I became like this...


you see I am the bravest girl
you will ever come to meet
yet I shrink down to nothing
at the thought of someone
really seeing me
I think my heart is wrapped around
and tangled up in winding weeds


but I dont wanna go on living
being so afraid of showing
someone else my imperfections
and even though my feet
are trembling
and every word I say comes stumbling
I will bare it all... watch me unfold
unfold


these hands that I hold
behind my back are bound and broken
by my own doing
and I can't feel
anything anymore
I need a touch to remind me
I'm still real


my soul
it's dying to be free
you see.. I can't live the rest of my life
so guarded
it's dying to be free
it's up to me to choose... what kind of life I lead


but I dont wanna go on living
being so afraid of showing
someone else my imperfections
and even though my feet are trembling
and every word I say comes stumbling
I will bare it all... watch me unfold
unfold


I will allow someone to love me
I will allow someone to love me
