YOU AND ME

You take my hand and lead me down to the ocean
The water’s cold and I’m scared to jump
When I’m with you I’m more than just breathing, I’m alive
You look at me and I’m terrified

Disbelief that you’re standing here with me
In your arms is new but I feel at home
The way you fit like a missing puzzle piece
Makes me want to hold on and never let go

So take this day and put it into slow motion
Let me learn your laugh, your cry, and smile
I’ll let you into the deepest part of me
Lets just lay here and lets just be… You and Me

Its cold by the water, you hold me close
Your heartbeat is how you tell me the most
So transparent and for once I cannot hide
You see it all, but you tell me I’m beautiful inside

Take this day and put it into slow motion
Let me learn your laugh, your cry, and your smile
I’ll let you into the deepest part of me
Lets just lay here and lets just be… You and Me

My heart is racing
This feeling’s not fading
Keep running to you
Not sure what to do
Drawing me into
This love I’ve been led to
My heart jumps to tomorrow

Not sure how to follow
So, take this day and put it into slow motion
Let me learn your laugh, your cry, and your smile
I’ll let you into my the deepest part of me
Lets lay here and lets just be… You and Me

I CRY

I hold it in because of the pain of letting it go
My lips quiver my voice shakes… I cant let you know

They start to form in that same familiar place…
Every time I run to you it turns out this way…

I am so afraid,
I’m so ashamed,
to feel this knot inside…
Nowhere to turn
I feel this hurt
creeping into my eyes

I cry… you tell me im emotional, irrational, unstable inside…
I cry… you tell me that I’m selfish, I’m insecure all of the time
But, I can’t be Miss Happy Go Lucky, always feelin’ up beat
I can’t be your perfect little trophy, its clear you don’t know me
I can’t be your little ray of sunshine always feeling just fine
Sometime I cry

So many years and it’s the same charade,
you and I dancing through my tragic little play
I’ve tried to show you the real me for a while
But you’d just rather see me with the same old plastic smile

I am so afraid,
I’m so ashamed,
to feel this knot inside…
Nowhere to turn
I feel this hurt
creeping into my eyes

I cry… you tell me im emotional, irrational, unstable inside…
I cry… you tell me that I’m selfish, I’m insecure all of the time
But, I can’t be Miss Happy Go Lucky, always feelin’ up beat
I can’t be your perfect little trophy, its clear you don’t know me
I can’t be your little ray of sunshine always feeling just fine
Sometime I cry

I wanna break free need to be me
I wanna break free need to be me
I wanna break free need to be me
I wanna break free need to be me

I cry… you tell me im emotional, irrational, unstable inside…
I cry… you tell me that I’m selfish, I’m insecure all of the time
But, I can’t be Miss Happy Go Lucky, always feelin’ up beat
I can’t be your perfect little trophy, its clear you don’t know me
I can’t be your little ray of sunshine always feeling just fine
Sometime I cry
