The Ugly Truth

Info

Don't wanna look in people's eyes,
Afraid they might see my darkest side.

Don't wanna let someone hold my hand,
Afraid that my walls would break down.

Don't wanna talk in the hallways,
Afraid i might be mocked in different ways.

I want you to sit with me under the stars,
Willing to reveal my hidden scars.

I want you to listen to my favorite song,
Ready to unfold my unspoken soul.

I want to stand with you in the rain,
And see me drenched in pain.

I want you to see me in my worst,
So you won't be haunted by my ghost.

I don't wanna live with regrets,
But i also don't want a reject.

Wanting to live my life to the fullest
Yet afraid to take a risk.

Knowing that chances are limited
And still scared to take a step.

We passed by in the street
I thought i heard you greet

You can turn your back now
Trust me i won't stab it down

Run as fast and as far as you can
Make sure i wont see you again

I love you
But
You cannot love me too

Maybe I'll turn my back now.
