Why is everyone so ashamed to care
Like it makes us weak
Ashamed to be loved
Yet it's love that we seek
Afraid to show emotion
Or to let anyone in
Afraid they won't like what they see
What's underneath our skin
The fear that will consume us
Will seem to be our end
But she looks so damn inviting if it's not real
I'll happily pretend
Pretend this thing is real
Pretend it's more than lust
Pretend that your heart is in my hands
And pretend you've given me your trust
