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
