Tell me a childhood secret because I gave mine away
My name is just an awkward pause away
I wish you could meet me when I was still fun to be around
I don't have much to offer other than hugs and tears
I like sad music, and sunny days
I love meeting new people, yet I'm an introvert

I know I'm a contradiction
But your dog seems to like me
I always thought the sight of a dog learning to trust was heartwarming
Trust takes patience
Patience takes time

And for some reason, your dog instantly knew
I'm afraid
I'm afraid a monster lives inside both of us
I'm afraid
I'm afraid someone will get scared and run away
I'm afraid
I'm afraid I'm not enough for you
I'm afraid I'm afraid I'm not enough for anyone

Show me your hands and protect me from my mind tonight
I'm sorry, I'm afraid to show you mine
Show me your mouth and let your words orbit my wounds instead of mine
I'm really sorry, I'm afraid to show you mine
I'm afraid of who you expect me to be and
I'm afraid of who I really am
So my dear,
Show me your eyes
And I'll show you mine
