Uncover Me

In fear of falling, I take a step back
But the edge takes one more step forward
I've made some mistakes, yes
But believing that it would all be easy was the biggest so far
All I can say to you now has already been said before
So just take my heart and wrap it up in your stunning surrender
I am not everything I hoped I would be
But I am beginning to love these unclean hands
Because self-loathing only gets you so far
Don't you see, I am not everything that I pretend to be
You can call me a friend if that's what you need
but just know, I am not all that I pretend to be
The green vines of envy are slowly taking me over
I wish you would follow me
I wish that I could take you with me in this lifelong journey towards the end of time
But the vines grab hold of my ankles
I have no sympathy for those who make the same mistakes as I have
But there is no solace in stealing hypocrisy
Instead I find my peace in stealing insecurity
So unveil to me your true intent
and I will show you who I really am
Uncover me
and I'll wait up for you
Uncover me
and I will forever protect your innocence

"Fall on me if you ever forget how beautiful you are"
