I've got the kind of bravery people pray for.
I say the things people wish they could.
I get just the right amount not wanting more.
Know it all; know it right, well I should.
I have my strengths and I can move on.
I know what hurt is and I can hide.
Past friends and love will remain gone.
When it comes down to it I'll swallow my pride.
Don't judge me because I can prove you wrong.
Sit beside me and you won't regret it.
I can get you to open up, and it won't take too long.
Underneath your soul I can show a fire that I lit.
But I have some weakness and I don't like it to show.
You think I'm strong, but wait until you see me in pieces.
I guarantee I've had my fair share of letting the tears flow.
My feelings play a game on me, and my heart; it teases.
I'll beat you up and burn you with my words,
But don't think I hate you; I'm just a bit complex.
I don't like to show vulnerability and know I'm tough.
On the surface I'm emotional, brainy and I enjoy sex.
But take me for granted and I won't just ruin your stuff.
You might think you know me from front to back.
But you forget the sides and the roots that no one sees.
There is a lot of complexity that I sure don't lack and
There are many emotions inside of me that I try to squeeze.
I know what it means to hurt and I still know how to smile.
There is a lot of pain I keep inside that I won't bother telling you.
Now it's been some time since my past, and I haven't cried in a while.
Therefore you must be doing something right and know the right things to do.
I can say I feel a bit sedated, but sleep's one of my favorite things.
No drama can feel a bit unreal and at times unsatisfying,
But the love I find for you everyday brings
me away from telling myself this love is lying.
I know that you and I are not like our other flings and
deep down I am a girl who runs and hides from her fears.
On the surface I am a tank who takes nothing from anyone.
All alone I know the difference between happy and sad tears.
But you baby, are so much fun, you honey I am sure are the one.
