Open Up
You say that i need to open up and let you in.
But if I do that will you still be standing here with me?
Or will you abandon me like everyone else?
What if you don't like who I am?
What if I don't like who I am?
It scares me to think that I won't have you anymore.
That you won't be there when I need you,
or when I just want you around.
It's nice having you around.
You make me happy.
If you're not here, will I ever be happy again?
You tell me I need to open up and let you in.
And that if i dont you'll walk away.
But if you walk away I won't have you.
I won't have anyone.
So I take the chance.
And I open up and let you in.
And you're still here.
You're still here with me.
And you have no idea how much that means to me.
