Beneath Your Beautiful

I can stay awake for days. I'm use to staying up through the night.
I can fake a smile, and force a laugh.
I can dance and play the part to me it feels right.

I have thick skin and an elastic heart.
Let's be clear I trust no one.
I've been running far too long, maybe from the start.

Why can't I conquer love?
Maybe I know deep in my soul that love never lasts.
It won't fit me like a glove.

People have to find other ways to make it alone and keep calm in darkness.
I've always lived like this, keeping a comfortable distance.
Up until now I have sworn to myself that I'm content with loneliness.

To me none of it was ever worth the risk or worth caving.
But you make it feel like you can be the only exception.
I think it's funny that you're the broken one but I'm the only one who needs saving.

There's something in the way you move.
It makes me feel like I can't live without you.
You don't try hard or have anything to prove.

I don't wanna give up all the love that I've stored.
You found out that I hide from the rain storms.
You can't come in and just take what I can't afford.

You make me feel like I have to let you in and tell you everything.
Somehow taking me back to the start where I use to drop my guard.
And I might be on my way to believing.

(I use some song lyrics from Stay, tell you everything, elastic heart, the only exception, and human)
