Face It

Remove your hands from your face Take a look around and see who was there in your space it was me who loves you so I make mistakes Yes this is true At least I can admit that I do Remove your hands from your face Take a look around and see You are in your own way Every single day Yes, you may smile You make others laugh You have a beautiful front I see you, I know you Remove your hands from your face Take a look around and see Open your hands Stretch your arms Embrace me Let me love you Love me back Protect me And I will protect you Take care of me as I do you Remove your hands from your face Remove your fear once and for all Let go and see All that can be Get out of your own way I am not them I am bare I am here I go nowhere Remove your hands from your face Take a look around and you will see It is I who has the patience you speak It is I who believes in you It is I running towards you Not away I am fighting, “fixing” I am bare My soul to share I go nowhere Remove your hands from your face I please please beg of you to take a look and you will see That it was I, myself, finding a way out of me. If it were not for you, I could never have seen She was right here Now bare My soul to share I go nowhere Remove your hands from your face Distinguish the narcissm Remove the labels you have on me Know when to fold your stubbornness Release your pride I assure you, I have absolutely nothing left to hide My cards are all right here I am bare My soul to share I go nowhere
