Push Right Past

How has she grown so close
When I am so reserved
I've never been this open
To a girl with this much nerve
She pries and pries like everyone does
But why do I let her in
Why is she different from the rest

I don't think that's she's an ordinary girl
I don't think she came from this world
She's so special I know she is
I just don't understand how

How did she make it in so fast
She made it in faster than most last
They know me as the girl who is reserved
But this girl had the nerve
She pushed so hard
She pushed right past
The hard exterior
And now she knows
She sees right through me
Sees that I'm loud
That I'm insecure
She tries and tries to make it better
Says I shouldn't feel this way
That no one should
She asked how I could fake my smile
Said I've been doing it for so long
But nobody knows
Nobody knows
You're up there on the list right
The people who know it all
She goes that's so sweet but I can't believe they all let you fall
I didn't fall I've always been low
Nowhere to go

How did she push right past the big stone walls
How did she push right to my heart
She moved so fast
I didn't see it coming
Now I trust her too much
Well all my heavy weight
She doesn't understand like the rest of them did
Maybe I shouldn't let her get so close
I can't do it again
Can't live like this
I need to block them all out
Cause she slipped right past
The hard exterior
She knows that I'm loud
She knows that I'm proud
She knows too much about me
She knows my insecurities
And how I hate the way I laugh
She knows I hate everything about me

She asks how my friends let me fall
I say I've always been this low
Nowhere to go
But you pushed right past
It takes people months
It took you two weeks
She smiles and nods then she says
I'll never understand but I'm going to try and understand
Like you say all your friends do

No one understand
They try to understand
Nobody will ever understand
But I know, I know
The way to go
But I can't let any more people in
