I wrote this song to discover what I really feel Because sometimes when I'm with you I just can't get real with myself I can't tell you what's really on my mind Something feels stuck, I feel repressed, I feel closed I'm not saying it's your fault, in fact it's probably mine But I wrote this out to discover what's going on in this rhyme I wrote this song for you and nobody else The truth is I don't know who I am by myself Who's been by my side four years, no one else Knows me better than you my sickness and my health The good and the bad that both live in my breast All the problems I have, the real smell of my breath The fact that I'm secretive, the mask that I'm wearing The lies I keep hidden while the whole world is staring Sometimes I feel embarrassed at the person I've become So concerned what other people think in other words dumb I'm heading to the bar cause I heard they serve rum Feel my life's been ripped apart, and I'm on my third one, see When I met you I was very religious My perspective was infected, my emotions in prison Now I feel them overflowing and I don't know their limits Wonder what would happen if I tell you all that I'm thinking I'm afraid of the changes that I see I'm afraid of the changes inside me I'm afraid that I won't wake up, that my mind's made up But I'm too afraid to follow through I'm afraid of the changes that I see I'm afraid of the changes inside me I'm afraid that I won't wake up, that my mind's made up But I'm too afraid to follow through On the real, you're attached to my heart Who said love was fucking easy, man, this battle is hard We're both questioning our motives, why should we remain together Are we scared of being lonely? Is there someone who is better Alternating hot and cold, we are like the weather I'm sure that we are growing, I'm not sure if it's together I wonder what I'd write to you if I wrote you a letter Would I show you who I am? Would I hide myself forever I guess that's what I'm trying to figure out now Who I really am when the lights go out Do I like that clown? Does he write profound Do I like who I become when your light's around It's hard to tell, but I'm really searching for an answer I feel I'm getting closer, every motherfucking stanza I hide the music cause in real life I just cannot manage Do not wanna do it, but sometimes that doesn't fucking matter I'm afraid of the changes that I see I'm afraid of the changes inside me I'm afraid that I won't wake up That my mind's made up, but I'm too afraid to follow through I'm afraid of the changes that I see I'm afraid of the changes inside me I'm afraid that I won't wake up That my mind's made up, but I'm too afraid to follow through I'm petrified I'm sitting here in the studio, I'm crying I'm looking at your Instagram pictures and you look so beautiful And I don't know why, when I'm with you in person I just can't see that same beautiful person I don't know why I haven't been able to express myself To feel what's going on in my heart To tell you that I love you
