layers

You've got some layers
barely anyone knows about.
It's okay, my dude,
'cause we're all hiding something inside.

Don't like when
someone judges who you are
when they don't even know
how many layers you've got.

Sometimes you keep a smile in your face,
even when you're feeling grumpy deep down.
There are times when I feel like I'm in a low place,
and it's when I don't know what to do.

You've got some layers,
well I've got them too.
No one is alone here.
No one ever really has the same mood
every damn day.

You might try to use your humor
just to cover up all the crap that's been thrown at you.
Sometimes your smile's a lie.

Don't you worry, I know how to keep a secret.
If I find out what layers you've got,
I'll only keep you safe and sound.
I won't judge.

How many times have you lied to your friends
just by playing a character?
Imagine if all those layers
just kept peeling off?

What if all those times you wished you were happy
were the times when everyone thought you were
because of your fake smile?

Got some layers? You're not alone.
I'm right here to protect what's inside.
Don't care if you lash out
or are not like yourself.
As long as you are truthful
with your layers.
