If I was completely honest with you
You'd run in the other direction
I'd scare you away, I'm sure of it.
As if I had some contagious infection
You'd open your eyes, and you'd realize
My life is too complicated, I'm too needy
My flaws and fears are monsterous and greedy
I'm lost in my own private world,
And I'd push you away if you tried to stay,
Not that you'd want to anyway.
You tell me now I can say nothing
To making you run and hide
But you don't know me, or the awful thoughts
That lurk in the depths of my mind.
A hellish war rages on inside me.
It rips and tears at my heart,
An evil and torturous art.
I cannot breathe, I cannot sleep.
So trust me when I tell you to stay away,
For my insides are cold and gray.
If you knew me, all for real
And I never hid the truth
Away you'd run, my heart you'd steal
Along with my innocent youth
So don't tell me that we're forever,
For I know it's a lie.
Our love will dissappear as soon
As the first time you see me cry.
