You wanna really get to know me, know my heart
Plead with me, you're gonna have to beg to get me to go that far
See me, you wanna see me from the inside see my scars
Trust me, you wanna see me from without, don't look too hard

'cause I am hiding something precious
It'll make or break my mind
and I'm not ready for this
My conscience tells me

You took too long to make your move
then you let her slip away again
and wait another day

You took too long to say your peace
now you let it rest in agony
you buried it too deep

I try to tell you how I feel, I don't get far
It's not easy, but if it was I'd find a way to make it hard

By the time I've opened up
I feel like I have lied
and all but given up
You're tearing down my pride
